If you have read access to /dev/cdrom (e.g., you are root) you can
list the iso9660 primary volume descriptor with:
isoinfo -d -i /dev/cdrom
The following bash fragment will get the volume id in a variable.
volid=`isoinfo -d -i /dev/cdrom | \
sed -e '/Volume id:/!d' -e 's/Volume id: //'`
There ought to be a better way, and further, there ought to be a way
to do it without requiring read access to /dev/cdrom (at least for
CDs that are mounted).
