<quote from man> COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS -h This option causes eject to display a brief description of the command options. -v This makes eject run in verbose mode; more information is displayed about what the command is doing. -d If invoked with this option, eject lists the default device name. -a on|1|off|0 This option controls the auto-eject mode, supported by some devices. When enabled, the drive automatically ejects when the device is closed. -c <slot> With this option a CD slot can be selected from an ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM changer. Linux 2.0 or higher is required to use this feature. The CD-ROM drive can not be in use (mounted data CD or playing a music CD) for a change request to work. Please also note that the first slot of the changer is referred to as 0, not 1. -t With this option the drive is given a CD-ROM tray close command. Not all devices support this command. -T With this option the drive is given a CD-ROM tray close command if it's opened, and a CD-ROM tray eject command if it's closed. Not all devices support this command, because it uses the above CD-ROM tray close command. -x <speed> With this option the drive is given a CD-ROM select speed command. The speed argument is a number indicating the desired speed (e.g. 8 for 8X speed), or 0 for maximum data rate. Not all devices support this command and you can only specify speeds that the drive is capable of. Every time the media is changed this option is cleared. This option can be used alone, or with the -t and -c options. -X With this option the CD-ROM drive will be probed to detect the available speeds. The output is a list of speeds which can be used as an argument of the -x option. This only works with Linux 2.6.13 or higher, on previous versions solely the maximum speed will be reported. Also note that some drive may not correctly report the speed and therefore this option does not work with them. -n With this option the selected device is displayed but no action is performed. -r This option specifies that the drive should be ejected using a CDROM eject command. -s This option specifies that the drive should be ejected using SCSI commands. -f This option specifies that the drive should be ejected using a removable floppy disk eject command. -q This option specifies that the drive should be ejected using a tape drive offline command. -p This option allow you to use /proc/mounts instead /etc/mtab. It also passes the -n option to umount(1). -m This option allows eject to work with device drivers which automatically mount removable media and therefore must be always mount()ed. The option tells eject to not try to unmount the given device, even if it is mounted according to /etc/mtab or /proc/mounts. -V This option causes eject to display the program version and exit. LONG OPTIONS All options have corresponding long names, as listed below. The long names can be abbreviated as long as they are unique. -h --help -v --verbose -d --default -a --auto -c --changerslot -t --trayclose -T --traytoggle -x --cdspeed -X --listspeed -n --noop -r --cdrom -s --scsi -f --floppy -q --tape -V --version -p --proc -m --no-unmount EXAMPLES </quote from man> -i??
