cd\_check
=========
This repository contains small utilities for checking the CD tray
under Linux. I am sure that there are other, more capable tools out there,
but it is useful, extremely lightweight(~200 loc) and easy to install.
Installing
----------
After pulling, just run `make && make install`. You may need superuser
priviliges to run `make install`.
You can run the following tools afterward:
`cd_check_eject`: Checks whether ejecting a CD works
`cd_check_capabilities`: Checks which capabilities the CD tray has
`cd_check_read_toc`: Checks whether reading the "table of content" works
`cd_check_read`: Checks whether reading works. Also one of the most basic audio
players that exists.
All of those commands may require superuser privileges, as they are making use
of `ioctl()` often.
