====== dvd_eject ======

  * [[dvd_info]] - main package

Along with [[dvd_drive_status]], I wrote my own little standalone C program that ejects a DVD drive.

A man page is included with the program (see ''man dvd_eject'') that comes with the ''dvd_info'' package.

It's very simple, and is not in the least designed to be a replacement for other eject programs. What it does do is it solves the problems that I run into: waiting for a drive to be in a "ready" state after opening / closing the tray, and working with fussy DVD drives that need to be told to open more than once before it actually does it.

So, here you go, a link to the source code on github: [[https://github.com/beandog/dvd_info/blob/master/dvd_eject.c|dvd_eject.c]]

It's a standalone program, so compiling with gcc or clang is simple as can be:

This doesn't check to see if a device is mounted, and will not unmount it. Using ''eject'' will.

Mine is cooler because of the fun output. :D
