# amlabel-cdrw(8)

a hacked-up replacement for amlabel to label CD-RWs intended for use with cdrw-taper

## NAME

amlabel-cdrw — a hacked-up replacement for **amlabel** to label CD-RWs  intended for use with cdrw-taper

## SYNOPSIS

**amlabel-cdrw** \[**-f**\]  \[**--no-tapelist-entry**\]  \[*conf*\]  \[*label*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **amlabel-cdrw** command.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

All **AMANDA** tapes must be pre-labeled before they  are used. **AMANDA** verifies the label in **amdump**   and **amflush** before writing to make sure the proper  tape is loaded.

**amlabel-cdrw** is a replacement for **amlabel**   to label CD-RWs intended for use with cdrw-taper.

## OPTIONS

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax,  with long options starting with two dashes (\`-').  A summary of  options is included below.

- **-f**

  Force write. Don't check if an empty or unused disk is in the  drive or if the given label is not on an active amanda disk.

- **--no-tapelist-entry**

  Don't append the new entry to the media list.

## SEE ALSO

More documentation found under /usr/share/doc/cdrw-taper

See [amlabel(8)](/amlabel/8.md) for general **amlabel** usage.
