πΏ dvd+rw-mediainfo(1) β the vibe check for your DVD drive
okay bestie, so this is dvd+rw-mediainfo(1), a lil General Commands Manual page, and it's about to be your new fave. it does one thing and it does it iconically: it looks at your DVD drive and your DVD and tells you everything. π
β¨ NAME β¨
dvd+rw-mediainfo β display information about dvd drive and disk π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so the dvd+rw-mediainfo command displays information about the drive and disk in the dvd drive you point it at β like, say, /dev/dvd. it's literally just showing you the tea. π«
and ngl, this is especially useful for debugging purposes. like, if you're out here hunting a bug, this is the moment.
fr fr β it is requested that its output be included when reporting bugs found in the dvd+rw-tools package. so if you're filing a bug, paste that output in. the maintainers are asking nicely and we're gonna deliver. π«Ά
π OPTIONS π
okay so here's the thing, and I need you to sit down for this:
- This program does not accept any command line options.
that's it. that's the whole options section. no flags, no -h, no nothing. she does not take requests. she takes a device and she spills. periodt. π
