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

       come  from  mp3  files,  than  we will find the one from file.ogg and finally the one from

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
