CDCAT(1)CDCAT(1)NAMEcdcat - Copy data from one or more CD-ROMs to STDOUT.
SYNOPSIScdcat [ -d, --device=PATH ] [ -h, --help ] [ -p, --prefix=NAME ] [ -t,
--test ] [ -V, --version ]
OPTIONS-d, --device=PATH
Use the specified CD-ROM device. The default is /dev/cdrom.
-h, --help
Show usage message and quit.
-p, --prefix=NAME
Specify the filename prefix as used on the CD images. The
default value ('') normally works fine. The first CD is always
searched for files matching the shell pattern NAME*. If multi‐
ple matches are found, the user is prompted to choose one of
them. If the selected file ends with '.1', then the backup is
assumed to be multidisk.
-t, --test
Do not use the CD-ROM drive. In this mode, everything proceeds
normally, except that the backup files are searched for in the
current directory, rather than on CD-ROMs. The CD-ROM drive is
never actually mounted or unmounted.
-V, --version
Print the version number and exit.
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cdcat filesystem restore util‐
ity.
CDCat concatenates components of a filesystem backup from one or more
CD-ROMs, and writes its output to STDOUT. It is used as an interactive
front-end for cdrstr (1).
