NAME
       dkdump — Dumping discs.

SYNOPSIS
       dkdump options disc_image_tags

DESCRIPTION
       Dumps a disc to an image file with readcd(readom), by default generating
       DKM metadata of the disc afterwards.

       Tags need to be compliant to the disc-kuraudo tags convention, see disc-
       kuraudo(1).

       Example:
              dkdump --disc-tags="studio.title.#4.disc1.r1999.12.31"

       Tags  for  tv-standard,  medium, extension, etc.  are removed and deter‐
       mined automatically.
