how do i controll hardware devices such as the dvd rom and the hard disk using c++?

Expand Post »
im a beginner in c++ language, it is my first time to handle c++ (because im a java programmer)...part of my training in c++ is to create a dvd controller that will open, close, write and eject the media(preferably cd-rw), and of course, be able to get the files to be burn in the hard disk, in the linux environment...any of you here knows a tutorial for a poor noob like me...i need to know the commands to be used in linux and how to combine them in c++...a tutorial would be nice...thank you

Investigate the ioctl function. But you'd better be prepared for some very advanced c programming.
