NAME
CD5 - Compute checksum of individual track on CD-ROMS
SYNOPSIS
cd5
DESCRIPTION
CD-ROM Digest is a program that checks a multi-track CD-ROM. It
reports the MD5 digest and size for each track on a CD-ROM. The digest
is done as the track is read, without dumping CD-ROM data on the hard
drive. This tool helps users that are burning a multi-track CD-ROM to
check the result.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
Currently, cd5 uses /dev/cdrom as CD-ROM device, and you can’t change
it.
Tracks are often bigger than the data written inside. The program will
report an error at the end of the data, but the checksum and the size
will be good.

Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not
have a manual page.
