eject: Toggle whether a device's tray is open or closed.
$ eject -T ${-dev-cdrom}
try on your machine
This command is used to open or close the CD/DVD tray of a disc drive on a UNIX or Linux system. Here's an explanation of the components:
- "eject" is the command itself, which is used to control the disc drive.
- "-T" is an option that specifies to toggle the tray, meaning it will either open or close the CD/DVD tray, depending on its current state.
- "${-dev-cdrom}" is a placeholder representing the path to the CD/DVD drive device file. The actual path may vary depending on the system configuration, but it commonly starts with "/dev/cdrom" or "/dev/dvd". The "-dev-cdrom" in the placeholder needs to be replaced with the appropriate file name or path in order for the command to work.
