CDADD(1)

💿 cdadd — bestie edition 💿

ok so this is cdadd, from the CDTOOL fam, and it's literally just here to help you get your CDs into the database. iconic behaviour honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

cdadd — add information for a new CD to .cdtooldb 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cdadd     [-[0..9]|-d device]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: cdadd is a shell script, right, and it uses cdir -t under the hood to help you add a brand new entry into your ~/.cdtooldb database file. 🫶

the way it works is so cute actually — it lets you edit a blank template database entry for whatever compact disc is currently in your drive, and then once you're done vibing with it, it appends that entry to the file. that's it. that's the whole job. slay. ✨

🌸 FILES 🌸

• ~/.cdtooldb — the default database file. your home base, your main character file, your whole personality lowkey 💖

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• CDTOOLDBPATH — a colon delimited path of database files to search. ⭐ and listen, you do not need to specify ~/.cdtooldb yourself, because it gets automatically added to the end of the search path. she's self-inserting, no cap 💅
• CDTOOLDEV — device file for cd-rom, and it overrides compile-time defaults. so if the defaults are being mid, this is your moment 👑

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• cdtool(1) — go read her too, she's the whole family 🧚

ok and that's a wrap bestie — this one's from the CDTOOL era, dated 29-July-2004, so it's lowkey vintage but she still serves 💜 bye ily 🫶
