CDfs is a virtual file system for Unix-like operating systems; it provides access to data and audio tracks on Compact Discs. When the CDfs driver mounts a Compact Disc, it represents each track as a file. This is consistent with the Unix convention " everything is a file".
CDfs supports the following track types:
- Red Book Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA): Appears as a WAV file; reading from it initiates DAE ripping.
- White Book Video CD or Super Video CD video: Appears as a playable MPEG-1 file containing audio and video streams.
- Yellow Book
CD-ROM data:
- Hierarchical File System: Appears as a mountable HFS file system disk image (sans partition table).
- ISO 9660: Each session appears as a mountable ISO image file.
- El Torito boot file: Appears as a single bootable disk image file.
Implementations
The Linux version of the CDfs driver is not part of the mainline Linux kernel.[ citation needed]
In the implementation for the operating system
Plan 9 from Bell Labs, cdfs is a server that runs in
user space via the
9P protocol. It represents the mounted disc as a
directory of files named by track number. Plan 9's CDfs can also write to the disc.
