Command Control Blocks; the sequence of bytes sent to the drive to tell 
it what to do.


Oh, and I remembered I had uploaded the package here:

http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=1688

If you use ubuntu or debian you should be able to build the package with 
pbuilder and install it with dpkg.  Here are the changes I made:


  * Fixed a few assumptions about packet size in cdrwtool that caused
    it to break when using packet sizes other than 32 sectors
  * Set default uid/gid to -1 instead of 0 for file entries created
    by cdrwtool and mkudffs
  * Documented -z ( packet size ) switch for cdrwtool in the man page
  * Added new single argument use case to pktsetup where you only have
    to specify the cdrom device to bind to, and a pktcdvd device will
    be auto assigned.
  * Fixed FORMAT UNIT command used by cdrwtool to comply with MMC-5.
    The old command wasn't quite valid according to MMC-5 and only
    worked on some drives.
