cdplayer normally is invoked with one of the following commands. If you invoke it without a command (or with a command it does not recognize), it prints a usage message and exits. If an error occurs, cdplayer returns an exit status of one. cdplayer recognizes the following commands:

eejjeecctt

Eject the CD from the drive. Note that not every CD drive supports this feature; in particular, the Mitsumi model LU005 does not.

iinnffoo

Display information about the CD that is in the drive: the total number of tracks, total playing time, playing time per track, drive status, and track being played.

ppaauussee

Pause the audio CD. Unlike the command stop, described below, cdplayer remembers the point at which playing stopped, and will resume playing at that point. If the CD is not playing, cdplayer ignores this command. To restart a paused CD, use the command cdplayer resume.

ppllaayy [[_t_r_a_c_k]]

Play the CD, beginning at track. If no track is given, it begins as track one.

rreessuummee

Resume playing a paused CD. If the CD had not been paused, cdplayer ignores this command.

sskkiipp

Skip to the next track. If the CD is on its last track, cdplayer returns it to its first track.

ssttoopp

Stop playing this CD. If the CD is not being played, cdplayer ignores this command. The CD player ``forgets'' the point at which it had been playing the CD. To begin playing this CD again, use the command cdplayer play.

vvoolluummee _l_e_v_e_l

Set the CD drive's volume to level, which must be a number between 0 (softest) and 255 (loudest). Note that not every drive supports this feature.
