NAME

       pktsetup - set up and tear down packet device associations

SYNOPSIS

       pktsetup packet_device block_device
       pktsetup -d packet_device
       pktsetup -s

DESCRIPTION

       Pktsetup  is used to associate packet devices with CD or DVD block devices, so that the packet device can
       then be mounted and potentially used as a read/write filesystem. This requires  kernel  support  for  the
       packet device, and the UDF filesystem.

       See: HOWTO.udf (in the udftools documents directory)

EXIT STATUS

       Pktsetup returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure.

OPTIONS

       -d packet-device
              Delete the association between the specified packet-device and its block device.

       -s     Show the current device mapping, one device per line, in the format
               name : pktdevid -> blkdevid
              (e.g. "0 : 253:0 -> 22:0")

EXAMPLE

       The following commands provide an example of using the packet device.

              cdrwtool -d /dev/sr0 -q
              pktsetup 0 /dev/sr0

              mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt
               ...
              umount /dev/pktcdvd0
              pktsetup -d 0

FILES

       /dev/pktcdvd0,/dev/pktcdvd1,...  CD/DVD packet devices
