-__-c=__''file'' ] __[[ add ] [[ ident
-]__
-!!DESCRIPTION
-
-
-__apt-cdrom__ is used to add a new CDROM to APTs list of
-available sources. __apt-cdrom__ takes care of
-determining the structure of the disc as well as correcting
-for several possible mis-burns and verifying the index
-files.
-
-
-It is necessary to use __apt-cdrom__ to add CDs to the
-APT system, it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disk
-in a multi-cd set must be inserted and scanned separately to
-account for possible mis-burns.
-
-
-Unless the __-h__, or __--help__ option is given one
-of the commands below must be present.
-
-
-__add__
-
-
-add is used to add a new disc to the source list. It will
-unmount the CDROM device, prompt for a disk to be inserted
-and then procceed to scan it and copy the index files. If
-the disc does not have a proper ''.disk/'' directory you
-will be prompted for a descriptive title.
-
-
-APT uses a CDROM ID to track which disc is currently in the
-drive and maintains a database of these IDs in
-''/var/lib/apt/cdroms.list''
-
-
-__ident__
-
-
-A debugging tool to report the identity of the current disc
-as well as the stored file name
-!!OPTIONS
-
-
-All command line options may be set using the configuration
-file, the descriptions indicate the configuration option to
-set. For boolean options you can override the config file by
-using something like __-f-__,__--no-f__, __-f=no__
-or several other variations.
