Hi all,
Anybody know how to (auto)detect a machines dvd-row/writer in c++ (or c), and also how to mount, unmount and eject the drive once its detected...?

(ie my machine the DVDr is /media/cdrecorder (although its a dvd-writer) and it
is on /dev/hdd) . This information would be sent to a list box in my KDE app.
