Libcddb is a C library to access data on a CDDB server (freedb.org). It allows you to:

1. search the database for possible CD matches;

2. retrieve detailed information about a specific CD;

3. submit new CD entries to the database.

Libcddb supports both the custom CDDB protocol and tunnelling the query and read operations over plain HTTP. It is also possible to use an HTTP proxy server. If you want to speed things up, you can make use of the built-in caching facility provided by the library.

cdrecord converts a CD image in a ".bin / .cue" format (sometimes ".raw / .cue") to a set of .iso and .cdr tracks.

geteltorito can extract the initial/default boot image from CDs (and ISOs) that follow the El Torito specification for bootable CD-ROMs.

Image data is written to standard output by default and all other information is written to standard error.

GNU Xorriso is a tool for copying files to and from ISO 9660 Rock Ridge, a.k.a. Compact Disc File System, file systems and it allows session-wise manipulation of them. It features a formatter and burner for CD, DVD and BD. It can operate on existing ISO images or it can create new ones. xorriso can then be used to copy files directly into or out of ISO files.

Optical media (CD,DVD,BD) keep their data only for a finite time (typically for many years). After that time, data loss develops slowly with read errors growing from the outer media region towards the inside.

Dvdisaster stores data on CD/DVD/BD (supported media) in a way that it is fully recoverable even after some read errors have developed. This enables you to rescue the complete data to a new medium.

Data loss is prevented by using error correcting codes. Error correction data is either added to the medium or kept in separate error correction files. Dvdisaster works at the image level so that the recovery does not depend on the file system of the medium. The maximum error correction capacity is user-selectable.

DVDStyler is a DVD authoring application which allows users to burn video files in many formats to DVD discs, complete with individually designed menus. It can be used to create professional-looking DVD's with custom buttons, backgrounds and animations, from within a user-friendly graphical interface.

Libcue is a C library to parse so-called cue sheets which contain meta-data for CD/DVD tracks. It provides an API to manipulate the data.

RipIT is used to extract audio from CDs.

cd-discid is a command-line tool to retrieve CDDB discid information from an audio CD.

Asunder is a graphical audio CD ripper and encoder. It can save audio tracks as WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Opus, Wavpack, and Musepack. It can use CDDB to name and tag each track automatically, and it allows for each track to be by a different artist. Asunder can encode to multiple formats in one session, and it can create M3U playlists.

CDEmu client is a simple command-line client for controlling CDEmu daemon.

It provides a way to perform the key tasks related to controlling the CDEmu daemon, such as loading and unloading devices, displaying devices' status and retrieving/setting devices' debug masks.

abcde is a front-end command-line utility (actually, a shell script) that grabs tracks off a CD, encodes them to Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Ogg/Speex and/or MPP/MP+ (Musepack) format, and tags them, all in one go.

cdrdao records audio or data CDs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode, based on a textual description of the contents. This mode writes the complete disc – lead-in, one or more tracks, and lead-out – in a single step and is commonly used with audio CDs. cdrdao can also handle the bin/cue format, commonly used for VCDs or disks with subchannel data.

libudfread is a C library for reading UDF file systems. UDF is a file system mostly used for DVDs and other optical media. It supports read-only media (DVD/CD-R) and rewritable media that wears out (DVD/CD-RW).

libcdio-paranoia is an implementation of CD paranoia libraries based on libcdio.

Cdrkit is a suite of programs for recording CDs and DVDs, blanking CD-RW media, creating ISO-9660 file system images, extracting audio CD data, and more. It's mostly compatible with cdrtools.

libMirage is a CD-ROM image access library. It supports the following formats: B6T, C2D, CCD, CDI, CIF, CUE, ISO, MDS, MDX, NRG, TOC. It is written in C and based on GLib. Its aim is to provide uniform access to the data stored in various image formats.

The deSEC can be used to obtain certificates with certbot DNS ownership verification. With the help of this hook script, you can obtain your Let's Encrypt certificate using certbot with authorization provided by the DNS challenge mechanism, that is, you will not need a running web server or any port forwarding to your local machine.

This is a C version of the certdata2pem Python utility that was originally contributed to Debian.

This package provides a certificate store containing only the Let's Encrypt root and intermediate certificates. It is intended to be used within Guix.

Catch2 stands for C++ Automated Test Cases in Headers and is a multi-paradigm automated test framework for C++ and Objective-C.

The libfaketime library allows users to modify the system time that an application "sees". It is meant to be loaded using the dynamic linker's LD_PRELOAD environment variable. The faketime command provides a simple way to achieve this.

This package is a simple helper library for writing interactive tests.

Testtools extends the Python standard library unit testing framework to provide matchers, more debugging information, and cross-Python compatibility.
