+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cd
+.Nd scsi cdrom driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm device-driver cd
+.Op Ar count
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Xr cd
+driver provides support for a
+.Em scsi
+cdrom. It allows the cdrom
+to be divided up into a set of pseudo devices called
+.Em partitions.
+In an attempt to look like regular disks the
+.Nm
+driver synthesises a partition table, with one partition covering the entire
+cdrom. A user might (for some amazing reason) add another partition to the
+cdrom by using disklabel, but it will last only until the cdrom is unmounted.
+A Partition can have both a
+.Em raw
+interface
+and a
+.Em Block mode
+interface.
+In general the interfaces are similar to those described by
+.Xr wd 4
+or
+.Xr sd 4 .
+
+.Pp
+Where the
+.Xr wd 4
+device has a fairly low level interface to the system,
+.Em SCSI
+devices have a much higher level interface and talk to the system via
+a
+.Em SCSI Adapter
+and a
+.Em Scsi Adapter driver
+e.g.
+.Xr AHA1542 .
+A scsi adapter must also be separatly configured into the system
+before a scsi cdrom can be configured.
+.Pp
+As the scsi adapter is probed during boot, the
+.Em SCSI
+bus is scanned for devices. Any devices found which answer as 'Readonly'
+type devices will be 'attached' to the
+.Nm
+driver. The first found will be attached as
+.Em cd0
+and the next,
+.Em cd1
+etc.
+.Pp
+The system utility
+.Xr disklabel 1
+may be used to read the synthesized
+.Xr disklabel 5
+structure, which will contain correct figures for the size of the cdrom
+should that information be required.
+.Pp
+.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
+Any number of cdroms may be attached to the system regardless of system
+configuration as all resources are dynamically allocated.
+
+.Pp
+.Sh IOCTLS
+The following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls apply to scsi cdroms
+in the header files
+.Em sys/cdio.h.
+and
+.Em sys/disklabel.h
+
+.Bl -tag -width CDIOCPLAYAUDIO____
+
+.It Dv DIOCGDINFO
+Read, from the kernel, the in-core copy of the disklabel for the
+drive. This will be a ficticious disklabel it will contain information
+read from the scsi inquiry commands, and should be the same as
+the information printed at boot.
+.It Dv DIOCSDINFO
+Give the driver a new disklabel to use. The driver will NOT try write the new
+disklabel to the disk. (ok?)
+.It CDIOCPLAYTRACKS
+Start Audio playback given a track address and length.
+.It CDIOCPLAYBLOCKS
+Start Audio playback given a block address and length.
+.It CDIOCPLAYMSF
+Start Audio playback given a 'Minutes/ seconds/ frames' address and length.
+.It CDIOCREADSUBCHANNEL
+Read information from the subchannel at the location specified.
+.It CDIOREADTOCHEADER
+Return summary information about the table of contents for the mounted cdrom.
+.It CDIOREADTOCENTRYS
+Return information from the table of contents entries mentionned.
+.It CDIOCSETPATCH
+Attach various audio channels to various output channels.
+.It CDIOCGETVOL
+Get information about the volume settings of the output channels.
+.It CDIOCSETVOL
+Change the volume settings of the output channels.
+.It CDIOCSETMONO
+Patch all out[put channels to all source channels.
+.It CDIOCSETSTERIO
+Patch left source channel to the left output channel and the right
+source channel to the right output channel.
+.It CDIOCSETMUTE
+Mute output without changing the volume settings.
+.It CDIOCSETLEFT
+Attach both output channels to the left source channel.
+.It CDIOCSETRIGHT
+Attach both output channels to the right source channel.
+.It CDIOCSETDEBUG
+Turn on debugging for the appropriate device.
+.It CDIOCCLRDEBUG
+Turn off debugging for the appropriate device.
+.It CDIOCPAUSE
+Pause audio play, do not reset the location of the read-head.
+.It CDIOCRESUME
+Resume audio play, Start at the location of the pause.
+.It CDIOCRESET
+Reset the drive.
+.It CDIOCSTART
+Tell the drive to spin-up the cdrom.
+.It CDIOCSTOP
+Tell the drive to spin-down the cdrom.
+.It CDIOCEJECT
+Eject the cdrom.
+.El
+.Pp
+In addition the general
+.Xr scsi 4
+ioctls may be used with the
+.Nm
+driver, if used against the fourth (raw/whole disk) partiton. (e.g. rcd0d)
+.Sh NOTES
+When a cdrom is changed in a drive controlled by the
+.Nm
+driver, then the act of changing the media will invalidate the
+disklabel and information held within the kernel. To stop corruption,
+All accesses to the device will be discarded until there are no more
+open file descriptors referencing the device. During this period, all
+new open attempts will be rejected. When No more open file descriptors
+reference the device, the first next open will load a new set of
+figures (including disklabel) for the drive.
+
+The Audio code in the
+.Nm
+driver only support SCSI2 standard audio commands. As there are many cdrom
+manufacturers who have not followed the standard well, there are many
+cdroms for which audio will not work. Some work is planned to support
+some of the more common 'broken' cdrom drives however this is not yet
+under way.
