NAME¶

CD5 - Compute checksum of individual track on CD-ROMS

SYNOPSIS¶

cd5

DESCRIPTION¶

CD-ROM Digest is a program that checks a multi-track CD-ROM. It reports the MD5 digest and size for each track on a CD-ROM. The digest is done as the track is read, without dumping CD-ROM data on the hard drive. This tool helps users that are burning a multi-track CD-ROM to check the result.

KNOWN PROBLEMS¶

Currently, cd5 uses /dev/cdrom as CD-ROM device, and you can't change it.

Tracks are often bigger than the data written inside. The program will report an error at the end of the data, but the checksum and the size will be good.
