+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cd
+.Nd CDROM driver for the CAM SCSI subsystem
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+device driver provides a read only interface for CDROM drives
+.Tn ( SCSI
+type 5)
+and WORM drives
+.Tn ( SCSI
+type 4)
+that support CDROM type commands.
+Some drives do not behave as the driver expects.
+See the
+.Sx QUIRKS
+section for information on possible flags.
+.Sh QUIRKS
+Each
+.Tn CD-ROM
+device can have different interpretations of the
+.Tn SCSI
+spec.
+This can lead to drives requiring special handling in the driver.
+The following is a list of quirks that the driver recognize.
+.Bl -tag -width CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS
+.It Dv CD_Q_NO_TOUCH
+This flag tells the driver not to probe the drive at attach time to see if
+there is a disk in the drive and find out what size it is.
+This flag is currently unimplemented in the CAM
+.Nm
+driver.
+.It Dv CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS
+This flag is for broken drives that return the track numbers in packed BCD
+instead of straight decimal.
+If the drive seems to skip tracks
+(tracks 10-15 are skipped)
+then you have a drive that is in need of this flag.
+.It Dv CD_Q_NO_CHANGER
+This flag tells the driver that the device in question is not a changer.
+This is only necessary for a CDROM device with multiple luns that are not a
+part of a changer.
+.It Dv CD_Q_CHANGER
+This flag tells the driver that the given device is a multi-lun changer.
+In general, the driver will figure this out automatically when it sees a
+LUN greater than 0.
+Setting this flag only has the effect of telling the
+driver to run the initial read capacity command for LUN 0 of the changer
+through the changer scheduling code.
+.It Dv CD_Q_10_BYTE_ONLY
+This flag tells the driver that the given device only accepts 10 byte MODE
+SENSE/MODE SELECT commands.
+In general these types of quirks should not be
+added to the
+.Xr cd 4
+driver.
+The reason is that the driver does several things to attempt to
+determine whether the drive in question needs 10 byte commands.
+First, it
+issues a CAM Path Inquiry command to determine whether the protocol that
+the drive speaks typically only allows 10 byte commands.
+(ATAPI and USB
+are two prominent examples of protocols where you generally only want to
+send 10 byte commands.)
+Then, if it gets an ILLEGAL REQUEST error back
+from a 6 byte MODE SENSE or MODE SELECT command, it attempts to send the 10
+byte version of the command instead.
+The only reason you would need a
+quirk is if your drive uses a protocol (e.g.,
+.Tn SCSI )
+that typically does not have a problem with 6 byte commands.
