Which man page, where? I don't see any manpage for cdrecord or libscg
in my distro.
(Ubuntu)
$ man libscg
No manual entry for libscg
$ man cdrecord
No manual entry for cdrecord
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
I saw the dev=/dev/cdrom notation in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning
Hence I have no idea what dev=b,t,l mean

Again no manpage. Although doing
$cdrecord --help tells me few things.
dev=target SCSI target to use as CD/DVD-Recorder
speed=# set speed of drive
I would be filing a bug if there is a manpage for cdrecord somewhere.
Just found it and filed a bug at
