ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
CDDA_DEVICE Reserved or later :)
CDROM Try this cdrom as default (if unset, CDROM_DEFAULT
from params.h is used).
CDDB_PATH path to your local cddb files (if unset, _no_ cddb titelinfo
is displayed)
CDDB_SERVER IP:PORT of a freedb server (if unset, only local cddb
stuff is used, if it exists in $CDDB_PATH/$discid).
LOGNAME Is used for remote cddb login.
HOSTNAME Is used for remote cddb login too.
FILES
$HOME/.workmandb Is used (first) for reading wmdb entries.
$CDDB_PATH/* Is used for reeading/writing cddb entries.
RETURN VALUES
0 no errors occured / normal quit
1 the given cd-device isn’t a cd-device
2 your cd seems to be sth. other then a CD-Audio or CD-Mixed
3 some error while processing terminal code
NOTES
Some terminals don’t like the default escape-sequences from params.h
... if so, you have to edit them ! Successfully tested terminals are
vt100, linux, xterm, xterm-color.
If you haven’t direct access to a freedb server, you may use some port
redirector program ... see freshmeat.
If you have devfs, mcdp will try /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, else /dev/cdrom is
tried!
