The following works:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/cdrom.h>
int main () {
int file;
int stats;
if((file = open("/dev/hdd", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK)) < 0)
{
fprintf(stderr,"No such device\n");
return 0;
}
ioctl(file, CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY, & stats);
if (stats & CDC_SELECT_DISC)
printf("Success!\n");
else
printf("<DOH!> Something went wrong\n");
return 0;
}
