| 71 | .I [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks] |
| 72 | |
| 73 | Looks up disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi") |
| 74 | remainder of command line is in the same form as that returned |
| 75 | by the cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy |
| 76 | then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for |
| 77 | identifying ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code and entries |
| 78 | with matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server. |

| 83 | |
| 84 | Dumps CDDB entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= |
| 85 | line, which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized |
| 86 | by parse and send commands. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy |
| 87 | then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for |
| 88 | identifying ourselves to the CDDB server. |
