What is libburn

Libburn is a library by which preformatted data get onto optical media CD, DVD and BD (Blu-Ray). It also offers a facility for reading data blocks from its drives without using the normal block device I/O, which has advantages and disadvantages. It seems appropriate, nevertheless, to do writing and reading via same channel.
