pktsetup - set up and tear down packet device associations
Contents
Availability
pktsetup is part of the udftools package and is available from https://github.com/pali/udftools/.
Description
Pktsetup is used to associate packet devices with CD or DVD block devices, so that the packet device can
then be mounted and potentially used as a read/write filesystem. This requires kernel support for the
packet device, and the UDF filesystem.
See: HOWTO.udf (in the udftools documents directory)
Example
The following commands provide an example of using the packet device.
cdrwtool -d /dev/sr0 -q
pktsetup 0 /dev/sr0
mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt
...
umount /dev/pktcdvd0
pktsetup -d 0
Exit Status
Pktsetup returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure.
Files
/dev/pktcdvd0,/dev/pktcdvd1,... CD/DVD packet devices
