cdrecord(1)
...

	Some operating systems or SCSI transport implementations
	may require to specify a filename in addition.  In this
	case the correct syntax for the device is:
	dev=devicename:scsibus,target,lun or dev=devicename:tar-
	get,lun.

	To make cdrecord portable to all UNIX platforms, the syn-

	hides OS specific knowledge about device names from the
	user.
