-l   scan busses for all available CD and DVD devices

       -if  select inputfile. Specify the firmware binary file, which should
            be written to DEVICE.

       -u   proceed update. When the firmware checksum test has succeeded,
            write firmware to DEVICE.

       -f   force flashing. Even if DEVICE is not recognized, or firmware.
            checksum has failed, firmware writing will be forced.
            Handle with care.

       -e   read EEPROM from DEVICE.

       -r   reboot the device.

       -t   test which opcodes are supported by the device.

       -v   debug.
