This is *intentionally* not a direct answer to your question.
This is 'how you can _FIND_ answers yourself', with only a little effort.
'questions' should be your -last- resort -- not your first -- for something
you haven't been able to figure out for yourself, and you *should* show 
some effort at having _tried_ to solve it yourself.

You want a command to put files on a CDROM, right?

CDROMs use an ISO-9660 filesystem, right?

That gives some 'magic words' to search for --

Try "apropos '(cdrom|iso|9660)' | egrep '(1|8)' |more"

And see if any commands jump out at you -- maybe something with 'create'
in the description.   Read the manpage, for how to build a filesystem image
suitable for copying to a CD, and for a suggestion for a utility that will
write the image to the disk.
