NAME
       cdrom_id - udev callout to determine the capabilities of cd/dvd drives

SYNOPSIS
       cdrom_id [--export] blockdevice

DESCRIPTION
       cdrom_id  is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
       capabilities of a cdrom or dvdrom drive. Udev can use this  information
       to create symlinks like /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd to the real device node.

USAGE
       cdrom_id opens the blockdevice node specified at  the  commandline  and
       prints the discovered capabilities.

OPTIONS
       The  following  commandline  switches  are  supported  to  specify what
       cdrom_id should print:

       --export
	      print all values (default)
