NAME

pktsetup − set up and tear down packet device associations

SYNOPSIS

pktsetup packet_device block_device
pktsetup −d
packet_device

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: http://packet-cd.sourceforge.net/

EXIT STATUS

Pktsetup returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure.

OPTIONS

−d packet-device

Delete the association between the specified packet-device and its block device.

EXAMPLE

The following commands provide an example of using the packet device.

cdrwtool -d /dev/sr0 -q
pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/sr0

mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt
...
umount /dev/pktcdvd0
pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0

FILES

/dev/pktcdvd0,/dev/pktcdvd1,... CD/DVD packet devices (block major=97)
