Typedef Documentation

§ DiscId

typedef void* DiscId

A transparent handle for an Audio CD.

This is returned by discid_new() and has to be passed as the first parameter to all discid_*() functions.

Enumeration Type Documentation

§ discid_feature

enum discid_feature

PLATFORM-DEPENDENT FEATURES.

The platform dependent features are currently:

"read" read TOC from disc
"mcn" read MCN from disc
"isrc" read ISRC from disc

A table in the MusicBrainz Documentation specifies which features are available on which platform in what version.

In the code you can use discid_get_feature_list() or discid_has_feature() below to get the features for your platform in this version.

DISCID_FEATURE_MCN
DISCID_FEATURE_ISRC

Function Documentation

§ discid_free()

LIBDISCID_API void discid_free ( DiscId * d )

Release the memory allocated for the DiscId object.

Parameters

d	a DiscId object created by discid_new()

§ discid_get_default_device()

LIBDISCID_API char* discid_get_default_device ( void )

Return the name of the default disc drive for this machine.

This isn't constant, but possibly depends on the drives currently attached, depending on the platform. For this reason you should call this once and save it when you want to make sure to use the same drive for multiple operations.

The returned string is thread local and owned by libdiscid internally.

Returns: a string containing an operating system dependent device identifier

§ discid_get_error_msg()

LIBDISCID_API char* discid_get_error_msg ( DiscId * d )

Return a human-readable error message.

This function may only be used if discid_read() failed. The returned error message is only valid as long as the DiscId object exists.

Parameters

d	a DiscId object created by discid_new()

Returns: a string describing the error that occurred

§ discid_get_feature_list()

LIBDISCID_API void discid_get_feature_list ( char * features[DISCID_FEATURE_LENGTH] )

Return a list of features supported by the current platform.

The array of length DISCID_FEATURE_LENGTH should be allocated by the user. After the call each element of the array is either NULL or a pointer to a static string.

Since: libdiscid 0.4.0

Parameters

[out] features a static string array of length DISCID_FEATURE_LENGTH

§ discid_get_first_track_num()

Returns: the number of the last track

§ discid_get_mcn()

LIBDISCID_API char* discid_get_mcn ( DiscId * d )

Return the Media Catalogue Number (MCN) for the disc.

This is essentially an EAN (= UPC with 0 prefix).

Since: libdiscid 0.3.0

Parameters

Returns: a string containing an Media Catalogue Number of the disk

§ discid_get_sectors()

LIBDISCID_API int discid_get_sectors ( DiscId * d )

Parameters

d	a DiscId object created by discid_new()

Returns: a string containing an URL

§ discid_get_toc_string()

§ discid_get_version_string()

LIBDISCID_API char* discid_get_version_string ( void )

Returns: a string containing the version of libdiscid.

§ discid_get_webservice_url()

LIBDISCID_API LIBDISCID_DEPRECATED char* discid_get_webservice_url ( DiscId * d )

Return an URL for retrieving CD information from MusicBrainz' web service.

The URL provides the CD information in XML. See http://musicbrainz.org/development/mmd for details.

The returned string is only valid as long as the DiscId object exists.

Parameters

d	a DiscId object created by discid_new()

Returns: a string containing an URL

Deprecated:: This function is deprecated. Please use libmusicbrainz instead since this function returns an URL referring the deprecated webservice.

§ discid_has_feature()

LIBDISCID_API int discid_has_feature ( enum discid_feature feature )

Check if a certain feature is implemented on the current platform.

This only works for single features, not bit masks with multiple features.

Since: libdiscid 0.4.0

Parameters

feature as enum discid_feature

Returns: 1 if the feature is implemented and 0 if not.

§ discid_new()

LIBDISCID_API DiscId* discid_new ( )

Return a handle for a new DiscId object.

If no memory could be allocated, NULL is returned. Don't use the created DiscId object before calling discid_read() or discid_put().

Returns: a DiscId object, or NULL.

§ discid_put()

LIBDISCID_API int discid_put	(	DiscId *	d,
		int	first,
		int	last,
		int *	offsets
	)

Provides the TOC of a known CD.

This function may be used if the TOC has been read earlier and you want to calculate the disc ID afterwards, without accessing the disc drive. It replaces the discid_read function in this case.

On error, this function returns false and sets the error message which you can access using discid_get_error_msg(). In this case, the other functions won't return meaningful values and should not be used.

The offsets parameter points to an array which contains the track offsets for each track. The first element, offsets[0], is the leadout track. It must contain the total number of sectors on the disc.

For discs with additional data tracks, the trailing data tracks should be ignored. offset[0] should then be the last sector of the last audio track. Make sure the length of the last audio track as returned by libdiscid after a put is the same as the length of your last audio track. Depending on your tools you might need to substract 11400 (2:32 min.). See also: Disc ID Calculation

Parameters

d	a DiscID object created by discid_new()
first	the number of the first audio track on disc (usually one)
last	the number of the last audio track on the disc
offsets	a pointer to an array of 100 track offsets

Returns: true if the given data was valid, and false on error

§ discid_read()

LIBDISCID_API int discid_read	(	DiscId *	d,
		const char *	device
	)

Read all supported features of the disc in the given CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.

This function reads the disc in the drive specified by the given device identifier. If the device is NULL, the default drive, as returned by discid_get_default_device() is used.

If you do not require all features provided by libdiscid, such as MCN or ISRC reading, you should consider using discid_read_sparse() instead of discid_read() for performance reasons.

On error, this function returns false and sets the error message which you can access using discid_get_error_msg(). In this case, the other functions won't return meaningful values and should not be used.

This function may be used multiple times with the same DiscId object.

Parameters

d	a DiscId object created by discid_new()
device	an operating system dependent device identifier, or NULL

Returns: true if successful, or false on error.

§ discid_read_sparse()

LIBDISCID_API int discid_read_sparse	(	DiscId *	d,
		const char *	device,
		unsigned int	features
	)

Read the disc in the given CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive extracting only the TOC and additionally specified features.

This function will always read the TOC, but additional features like DISCID_FEATURE_MCN and DISCID_FEATURE_ISRC can be set using the features parameter. Multiple features can be set using bitwise OR.

If you only want to generate a disc ID, you only need the TOC, so set features to 0:

discid_read_sparse(disc, device, 0)

This is a bit more verbose, but equivalent since DISCID_FEATURE_READ is always implied:

discid_read_sparse(disc, device, DISCID_FEATURE_READ)

If you want to read all features available, you can use discid_read().

On error, this function returns false and sets the error message which you can access using discid_get_error_msg(). In this case, the other functions won't return meaningful values and should not be used.

This function may be used multiple times with the same DiscId object.

Since: libdiscid 0.5.0

Parameters

d	a DiscId object created by discid_new()
device	an operating system dependent device identifier, or NULL
features	a list of bit flags from the enum discid_feature

Returns: true if successful, or false on error.
