NAME

Cdio::Device handles disc and device aspects of Cdio.

METHODS

new

new(source, driver_id, access_mode)->$device_object

Create a new Device object. Either driver_id or source can be undef. Probably best to not to give an access_mode too, unless you know what you are doing.

audio_pause

audio_pause(cdio)-> $status Pause playing CD through analog output. The device status is returned.

audio_play_lsn

audio_play_lsn(cdio, start_lsn, end_lsn)-> $status

Playing CD through analog output at the given lsn to the ending lsn The device status is returned.

audio_resume

audio_resume(cdio)-> $status

Resume playing an audio CD through the analog interface. The device status is returned.

audio_stop

audio_stop(cdio)-> $status

Stop playing an audio CD through the analog interface. The device status is returned.

close

close()->bool

Free resources associated with cdio. Call this when done using using CD reading/control operations for the current device.

eject_media

eject_media()->drc Eject media in CD drive if there is a routine to do so. status is returned.

get_arg

get_arg(key)->string

get_device

get_device()->str

Get the default CD device.

If the CD object has an opened CD, return the name of the device used. (In fact this is the same thing as issuiing "d->get_arg("source").

If we haven't initialized a specific device driver, then find a suitable one and return the default device for that.

In some situations of drivers or OS's we can't find a CD device if there is no media in it and it is possible for this routine to return undef even though there may be a hardware CD-ROM.

get_disc_last_lsn

get_disc_last_lsn(self)->int

Get the LSN of the end of the CD. $perlcdio::INVALID_LSN is returned if there was an error.

get_disc_mode

get_disc_mode() -> str

Get disc mode - the kind of CD: CD-DA, CD-ROM mode 1, CD-MIXED, etc. that we've got. The notion of 'CD' is extended a little to include DVD's.

get_drive_cap

get_drive_cap()->(read_cap, write_cap, misc_cap)

Get drive capabilities of device.

In some situations of drivers or OS's we can't find a CD device if there is no media in it. In this situation capabilities will show up as empty even though there is a hardware CD-ROM.

get_drive_cap_dev

get_drive_cap_dev(device=undef)->(read_cap, write_cap, misc_cap)

Get drive capabilities of device.

In some situations of drivers or OS's we can't find a CD device if there is no media in it. In this situation capabilities will show up as empty even though there is a hardware CD-ROM.

get_driver_name

get_driver_name()-> string

return a string containing the name of the driver in use. undef is returned if there's an error.

get_driver_id

get_driver_id()-> int

get_first_track

get_first_track()->Track

return a Track object of the first track. $perlcdio::INVALID_TRACK or $perlcdio::BAD_PARAMETER is returned if there was a problem.

Return the driver id of the driver in use. if object has not been initialized or is None, return $perlcdio::DRIVER_UNKNOWN.

get_hwinfo

get_hwinfo()->(vendor, model, release, drc)

Get the CD-ROM hardware info via a SCSI MMC INQUIRY command. An exception is raised if we had an error.

get_joliet_level

get_joliet_level()->int

Return the Joliet level recognized for cdio. This only makes sense for something that has an ISO-9660 filesystem.

get_last_session

get_last_session(self) -> (track_lsn, drc)

Get the LSN of the first track of the last session of on the CD.

get_last_track

get_last_track(self)->Track

return a Track object of the last track. $perlcdio::INVALID_TRACK or $perlcdio::BAD_PARAMETER is returned if there was a problem.

get_mcn

get_mcn()->str

Get the media catalog number (MCN) from the CD.

get_media_changed

get_media_changed() -> int

Find out if media has changed since the last call. Return 1 if media has changed since last call, 0 if not. A negative number indicates the driver status error.

get_num_tracks

get_num_tracks()->int

Return the number of tracks on the CD. perlcdio::INVALID_TRACK is raised on error.

get_track

get_track(track_num)->track

Set a new track object of the current disc for the given track number.

get_track_for_lsn

get_track_for_lsn(LSN)->Track

Find the track which contains LSN. undef is returned if the lsn outside of the CD or if there was some error.

If the LSN is before the pregap of the first track, A track object with a 0 track is returned. Otherwise we return the track that spans the lsn.

have_ATAPI

have_ATAPI()->bool

return 1 if CD-ROM understand ATAPI commands.

lseek

lseek(offset, whence)->int

Reposition read offset. Similar to (if not the same as) libc's fseek()

offset is the amount to seek and whence is like corresponding parameter in libc's lseek, e.g. it should be SEEK_SET or SEEK_END.

the offset is returned or -1 on error.

open

open(source=undef, driver_id=$libcdio::DRIVER_UNKNOWN, access_mode=undef)

Sets up to read from place specified by source, driver_id and access mode. This should be called before using any other routine except those that act on a CD-ROM drive by name. It is implicitly called when a new is done specifying a source or driver id.

If undef is given as the source, we'll use the default driver device. If undef is given as the driver_id, we'll find a suitable device driver. Device is opened so that subsequent operations can be performed.

read

read(size)->(size, data)

Reads the next size bytes. Similar to (if not the same as) libc's read()

The number of bytes read and the data is returned.

read_data_blocks

read_data_blocks(lsn, blocks=1)->($data, $size, $drc)

Reads a number of data sectors (AKA blocks).

lsn is sector to read, blocks is the number of bytes.

The size of the data will be a multiple of $perlcdio::ISO_BLOCKSIZE.

The number of data, size of the data, and the return code status is returned in an array context. In a scalar context just the data is returned. undef is returned as the data on error.

read_sectors

read_sectors($lsn, $read_mode, $blocks=1)->($data, $size, $drc) read_sectors($lsn, $read_mode, $blocks=1)->$data

Reads a number of sectors (AKA blocks).

lsn is sector to read, bytes is the number of bytes.

If read_mode is $perlcdio::MODE_AUDIO, the return data size will be a multiple of $perlcdio::CDIO_FRAMESIZE_RAW i_blocks bytes.

If read_mode is $perlcdio::MODE_DATA, data will be a multiple of $perlcdio::ISO_BLOCKSIZE, $perlcdio::M1RAW_SECTOR_SIZE or $perlcdio::M2F2_SECTOR_SIZE bytes depending on what mode the data is in.

If read_mode is $perlcdio::MODE_M2F1, data will be a multiple of $perlcdio::M2RAW_SECTOR_SIZE bytes.

If read_mode is $perlcdio::MODE_M2F2, the return data size will be a multiple of $perlcdio::CD_FRAMESIZE bytes.

The number of data, size of the data, and the return code status is returned in an array context. In a scalar context just the data is returned. undef is returned as the data on error.

set_blocksize

set_blocksize(blocksize) -> $status

Set the blocksize for subsequent reads. The operation status code is returned.

set_speed

set_speed(speed)->drc

The operation status code is returned.
