NAME

       cd-discid - read CD and get CDDB discid information.

SYNOPSIS

       cd-discid <devicename>

DESCRIPTION

       In order to do CDDB queries over the Internet, you must know the DiscID
       of  the  CD  you  are  querying.   cd-discid  provides  you  with  that
       information.  It  outputs  the  discid, the number of tracks, the frame
       offset of all of the tracks, and the total length of the CD in seconds,
       on  one  line in a space-delimited format.  cd-discid was designed as a
       backend tool for cdgrab (now abcde) but will work independantly of  it.

OPTIONS

       devicename
              CD-ROM block device name that contains a CD to be queried.
