<h1>39.3. <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">cd</span></tt> &#8212; CD-ROM access on SGI systems<a class="headerlink" href="#module-cd" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p><em>Platforms: </em>IRIX</p>
<p class="deprecated">
<span class="versionmodified">Deprecated since version 2.6: </span>The <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">cd</span></tt> module has been deprecated for removal in Python 3.0.</p>
<p>This module provides an interface to the Silicon Graphics CD library. It is
available only on Silicon Graphics systems.</p>
<p>The way the library works is as follows.  A program opens the CD-ROM device with
<a title="cd.open" class="reference internal" href="#cd.open"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">open()</span></tt></a> and creates a parser to parse the data from the CD with
<a title="cd.createparser" class="reference internal" href="#cd.createparser"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">createparser()</span></tt></a>.  The object returned by <a title="cd.open" class="reference internal" href="#cd.open"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">open()</span></tt></a> can be used to read
data from the CD, but also to get status information for the CD-ROM device, and
to get information about the CD, such as the table of contents.  Data from the
CD is passed to the parser, which parses the frames, and calls any callback
functions that have previously been added.</p>
<p>An audio CD is divided into <em>tracks</em> or <em>programs</em> (the terms are used
interchangeably).  Tracks can be subdivided into <em>indices</em>.  An audio CD
contains a <em>table of contents</em> which gives the starts of the tracks on the
CD.  Index 0 is usually the pause before the start of a track.  The start of the
track as given by the table of contents is normally the start of index 1.</p>
<p>Positions on a CD can be represented in two ways.  Either a frame number or a
tuple of three values, minutes, seconds and frames.  Most functions use the
latter representation.  Positions can be both relative to the beginning of the
CD, and to the beginning of the track.</p>
<p>Module <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">cd</span></tt> defines the following functions and constants:</p>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="cd.createparser">
