DVD driver for Darwin and Mac OS X
==================================
This experimental kernel extension (KEXT) for Darwin is a wrapper for
the DVD-related kernel IOKit functions. It was written for two main reasons:
- the lack of userland support for DVD key negociation functions
- the fact that the kernel locks mounted device, preventing raw device
reads if the DVD is mounted
Building the driver
===================
You can either load the project in Project Builder and press the "build"
icon, or open a terminal window and type "pbxbuild".
Installing the driver
=====================
Open a terminal window, and type "kextload build/DVDioctl.kext", or whatever
the path to the build tree is. You need to be root in order to do this.
Using the driver
================
The driver creates a special /dev/dvd block device upon loading. When a
process tries to open this device, it looks for an IODVDMedia object and
opens it. All further operation done to the /dev/dvd device are then
forwarded to the IODVDMedia device.
