Members

Length[2]

The length, in bytes, of this structure.

TrackNumberLsb

The least significant byte of the track number.

SessionNumberLsb

The least significant byte of the session number.

Reserved4

Reserved.

TrackMode

The track mode. See the SCSI-3 Multi-Media specification for an explanation of meaning of this member.

Copy

The copy bit indicates whether the track is a copy or not. If this bit is 1, the track is a copy. If it is 0, the track is not a copy.

Damage

The damage bit indicates, together with the NWA_V bit, whether a write to the media is complete or not, and what sort of methods the CD-ROM class driver can use to complete the write. See the SCSI-3 Multi-Media specification for an explanation of how to interpret the values in the Damage and NWA_V members.

Reserved5

Reserved.

DataMode

The data mode. This member can have any of the following values:

Value Meaning
0x1 The track uses data mode 1 (ISO/IEC 10149)
0x2 The track uses data mode 2 (ISO/IEC 10149 or CD-ROM XA)
0xf There is no track descriptor block, and therefore the data block type of the track is unknown.

FixedPacket

The fixed packet bit indicates, under some circumstances, when set to 1, that write operations to the track must use fixed packets. For a complete explanation of the meaning of this bit, see the SCSI Multimedia Commands - 3 (MMC-3) specification.

Packet

The fixed packet bit indicates, under some circumstances, when set to 1, that write operations to the track must use fixed packets. For a complete explanation of the meaning of this bit, see the SCSI Multimedia Commands - 3 (MMC-3) specification.

Blank

The blank bit, when set to 1, indicates that the track contains no written data and last recorded address field is invalid. For a complete explanation of the meaning of this bit, see the SCSI Multimedia Commands - 3 (MMC-3) specification.

ReservedTrack

The reserved track bit, when 1, indicates that the track is reserved.

NWA_V

A boolean value that indicates, when 1, that the value in NextWritableAddress is valid. If 0, the value in NextWritableAddress is invalid.

LRA_V

A boolean value that indicates whether the LastRecordedAddress member is valid or not. If LRA_V is 1, the LastRecordedAddress member is valid. If 0, the LastRecordedAddress member is not valid.

Reserved6

Reserved.

TrackStartAddress[4]

The starting address of the specified track.

NextWritableAddress[4]

The logical block address of the next writable user block in the track specified by the track number (TrackNumberLsb and TrackNumberMsb).

FreeBlocks[4]

The maximum number of user data blocks that are available for recording in the track.

FixedPacketSize[4]

The blocking factor. This value The fixed packet size is valid only when the Packet and the FP bits are both set to one.

TrackSize[4]

Track Size is the number of user data blocks in the track.

LastRecordedAddress[4]

TrackNumberMsb

The most significant byte of the track number.

SessionNumberMsb

The most significant byte of the session number.

Reserved7[2]

Reserved7
