CDROM question

[Cole Tuininga]

Random question for y'all - does anybody know of a common and relatively
simple way to determine:

A) If a given cdrom drive is open or closed?

B) If there is a disc in the drive?

I'm looking for something simple on the order of:

somecommand -probe /dev/cdrom

If the answer is that I have to try mounting the CD, etc, etc, it's more
work than it's worth.  This isn't a big deal, I was mostly just curious.

Thanks in advance...
