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

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.

directories
