CDcatalog is a useful program wich enable you to easily retrieve some
files from your CDs. For instance, if you can't remember where is your
latest source tarball of emacs in all your data CDs, just type
cdcatalog -s emacs will print all matching files and the corresponding CDs.
You can execute three different actions:
The -a switch enable you to add a CD. Usage: cdcatalog -a ``CD no 5'' adds your CD to your default catalog. If no name is provided, asks for a name.
By default, CDCatalog lists all recorded CDs of the database.
Use the -s switch. For instance, use cdcatalog -s emacs to search for all files whose name contains emacs. Use -i for a insensitive case search instead of -s. Instead of emacs, you can use ^emacs for files beginning with emacs. It's a Perl Regular Expression.
