Summary     : Command-line client for controlling CDEmu daemon
Description :
This is cdemu-client, a simple command-line client for controlling
CDEmu daemon. It is part of the userspace-cdemu suite, a free, GPL
CD/DVD-ROM device emulator for linux.

It provides a way to perform the key tasks related to controlling
the CDEmu daemon, such as loading and unloading devices, displaying
devices' status and retrieving/setting devices' debug masks.

Testcase:

• Install dkms-vhba and cdemu-client.
• Run as a normal user: cdemu status

Result:

• With a broken dkms-vhba, you'll see the screen filled with a kernel oops.
• With a working dkms-vhba, you'll see

Devices' status:
DEV   LOADED     FILENAME
0     0          N/A

Load an ISO

$ cdemu load any ISOs/Mageia-2-alpha1-LiveCD-GNOME-Europe1-Americas-x86_64-CD.iso

$ cdemu status
Devices' status:
DEV   LOADED     FILENAME
0     1          /home/username/ISOs/Mageia-2-alpha1-LiveCD-GNOME-Europe1-Americas-x86_64-CD.iso

$ cdemu unload 0

$ cdemu status
Devices' status:
DEV   LOADED     FILENAME
0     0          N/A

Repeat after reboot the system, to test if vhba module still load
