cdrustanoia

cdrustanoia is a Rust port of cdparanoia III 10.2 for Linux. It is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the cdparanoia command line tool and for the libcdda_interface / libcdda_paranoia C libraries.

The port includes:

the cdparanoia command line interface and span grammar,
the two-stage verification, overlap, drift and rift-reconstruction engine,
the Linux SG_IO and cooked-ioctl CD-ROM backends,
TOC query and drive/endianness probing,
WAV, AIFF, AIFF-C and raw output,
batch mode, stdout output, sample/TOC offsets, logging and progress display,
source- and ABI-compatible C libraries and headers,
a synthetic image backend and fault-injection tests that do not need a CD drive.

Building

cargo build --release --workspace

The binaries are written to target/release/cdrustanoia and target/release/cdparanoia. Both run the same code; cdparanoia exists so existing scripts and packages can invoke the expected name.

Installing

sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local
# or
sudo ./install.sh

This installs:

bin/cdrustanoia and the bin/cdparanoia symlink,
man/man1/cdparanoia.1 and cdrustanoia.1,
include/cdda_interface.h, cdda_paranoia.h and utils.h,
lib/libcdda_interface.{so,a} and lib/libcdda_paranoia.{so,a},
the original .so.0 SONAME symlinks.

DESTDIR is supported for package builds.

Usage

The command line is compatible with cdparanoia 10.2:

cdrustanoia -Q
cdrustanoia -B
cdrustanoia "1[:30.12]-1[1:10]" track.wav
cdrustanoia -r -- "-3" out.raw

Use cdrustanoia --help for the full option and span documentation. The man page is the original cdparanoia man page.

C API

The two C libraries export the traditional symbols and use the original public structure layout. The headers are installed under include/; link programs the same way as with cdparanoia:

cc app.c -lcdda_paranoia -lcdda_interface

The public cdrom_drive layout, TOC layout, function-pointer fields, error codes and paranoia_* entry points match cdparanoia 10.2 on 64-bit Linux.

Testing without a CD drive

Set CDRUSTANOIA_TEST_IMAGE to a raw CDDA image (2352-byte sectors). A sidecar file named <image>.<ext>.toc may contain one line per track:

start_sector end_sector flags_hex

For example:

0 99 0
100 199 0

Then use the normal command line:

CDRUSTANOIA_TEST_IMAGE=/tmp/disc.raw ./target/debug/cdparanoia -Q
CDRUSTANOIA_TEST_IMAGE=/tmp/disc.raw ./target/debug/cdparanoia -B

The backend is intentionally not advertised in --help; it exists for tests and development.

Run the automated suite with:

cargo test --workspace

The suite covers span parsing, output headers, command-line parsing, the paranoia engine (including jitter and fragmented reads), the C ABI layout, and the C libraries.

Hardware checklist

The SG_IO and cooked ioctl paths cannot be exercised in a machine without a CD-ROM drive. When hardware is available, verify:

cdrustanoia -Q lists the TOC.
cdrustanoia -v -Q shows SG_IO or cooked autosense.
cdrustanoia -B produces trackNN.cdda.wav and the audio matches the disc.
A deliberately scratched disc produces the expected :-(/;-( progress and either reconstructs audio or removes the aborted file with -X.
-A completes and writes cdparanoia.log.
-e produces the ##: callback lines for wrapper scripts.
A small C program using cdda_identify, cdda_open, paranoia_init, paranoia_read and cdda_close works.

Compatibility notes

Linux is the only supported platform, matching cdparanoia 10.2.
Modern SG_IO and legacy cooked ioctl access are implemented. The obsolete /dev/sg SG2/SG3 packet transport is not; -g uses SG_IO on the named generic device where the kernel supports it.
-i/--output-info is accepted but is a no-op, matching the 10.2 source.
64-bit Linux ABI is the primary target.
The -A cache analysis is a compact functional port; its timing recommendations should be treated as advisory.
