Code: Select all

# bestfit --help
Usage: bestfit [OPTION]... FILE... [-e COMMAND...]
Determine which FILEs should be put on a CD (or other disk) so that as
little space as possible is wasted. Output the name of those files,
or if --execute specified, execute a command for each.

  -8, --80min               space is that of an empty 80 min CD (default)
  -7, --74min               space is that of an empty 74 min CD
  -d, --dirs-only           ignore non-directory arguments
  -s, --space=BLOCKS        maximum amount of space allowed to use
  -r, --reserve=BLOCKS      blocks to reserve (200 by default)
  -e, --execute COMMAND...  execute commands for each selected file
  -i, --invert              print/execute for non-fitting files instead
  -v, --verbose             explain what is being done
  -q, --quiet               output no diagnostic/information messages
      --help                display this help and exit
      --version             output version information and exit

The block-size is fixed to 2048 bytes.

All following arguments after --execute are taken to be arguments
to the command to execute for each selected file. The string `{}'
is replaced by the current file name being processed.

I can't find the source. Can you please post it (or a link)? Thanks.

It would be good to add support for DVDs :)
