EXAMPLES

       # burn -D -p /etc/

       Creates a CD with /etc/ contents.  (you will find files and directories
       contained in /etc in CD's root.)

       # burn -D -p /home/bigpaul/video/summer_2003/spain.tar.gz

       Creates a CD with spain.tar.gz in CD's root

       # burn -D -r /etc/

       Creates a CD containing the whole /etc/ directory. (-r preserves path)

       # burn -D -c /mail_2003 /home/bigpaul/Mail -p /boot/vmli*

       Creates  a  CD  containing  the  whole  /home/bigpaul/Mail renamed into
       /mail_2003. (-c changes path name). This command also adds in CD's root
       every vmli* file in /boot/ directory

       # burn -I -n image.iso

       Burns image.iso

       # burn -C

       # burn -A -a *.wav

       Creates an Audio CD. Tracks come from wav files

       # burn -A -a *.mp3

       Creates an Audio CD. Tracks come from mp3 files

       # burn -A -a *.ogg

       Creates an Audio CD. Tracks come from Ogg Vorbis files

       # burn -A -a *.mp3 file.ogg track01.wav

       Creates  an  Audio CD preserving input order. In this example the first
       audio tracks will come from mp3 files, than we will find the  one  from
       file.ogg and finally the one from track01.wav

GENERAL OPTIONS

       -s, --simulate
              to perform a burn simulation

DATA-CD OPTIONS

       -p, --path
              add  file/s  or  path's  content  to  CD-ROM's  root.  e.g.:  -p
              /cvs/myproj/. In this example we will find CD-ROM's root  filled
              with /cvs/myproj/ contents, but no /cvs/myproj/ will be created

       -r, --preserve-path
              add file/s or path's content to CD-ROM preserving original path.
              e.g.: -r /cvs/myproj/. In this example we will find /cvs/myproj/
              in CD-ROM's root

       -x, --exclude-path
              every  file  or  directory  matching  this  string  will  not be
              included

       -c, --change-path
              old_path  will  be  named   new_path   in   CD-ROM.   e.g.:   -c
              /my_home/2004_Jan/  /home/bigpaul/.  Thus /home/bigpaul/ will be
              named /my_home/2004_Jan/ in CD-ROM.

       -l, --follow-symlink
              this option allows burn to follow symbolic link directories

       -m, --multisession
              this option allows multisession CDs

ISO-CD OPTIONS

       -n, --name
              image name

       -a, --audio-file
              mp3, ogg or wav file/s
