How to determine cdrom devices

Hi,

Does anybody know, how to determine cdrom devices (/dev/hdb, /dev/scd0, etc.) via C/C++?

Thx in advance.

You can use the /proc fs for this:

$ cat ide/ide0/hdb/driver
ide-disk version 1.10
$ cat ide/ide1/hdd/driver
ide-cdrom version 4.59

There might be a better file to use in there. Have a look around :)
