# pktsetup(1)

set up and tear down packet device associations

## NAME

pktsetup - set up and tear down packet device associations

## SYNOPSIS

**pktsetup** *packet\_device block\_device*\
 **pktsetup** **-d** *packet\_device*\
 **pktsetup** **-s**

## DESCRIPTION

**Pktsetup** is used to associate packet devices with CD or DVD block devices, so that the packet device can then be mounted and potentially used as a read/write filesystem. This requires kernel support for the packet device, and the UDF filesystem.

See /usr/share/doc/udftools/README.Debian for more information.

## EXIT STATUS

**Pktsetup** returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure.

## OPTIONS

- **-d** *packet-device*

  Delete the association between the specified *packet-device* and its block device.

- **-s**

  Show the current device mapping, one device per line, in the format\
    *name* : *pktdevid* -\> *blkdevid*\
   (e.g. "0 : 253:0 -\> 22:0")

## EXAMPLE

The following commands provide an example of using the packet device.

```

```

-

  cdrwtool -d /dev/sr0 -q pktsetup 0 /dev/sr0

  mount -t udf /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt\
    ... umount /dev/pktcdvd0 pktsetup -d 0

## FILES

```
/dev/pktcdvd0,/dev/pktcdvd1,...  CD/DVD packet devices
```
