# man cdrecord holds your answer. Here is a sniplet:
=========================================================
     blank=type
          Blank a CD-RW and exit or blank a CD-RW before writing.
          The blanking type may be one of:

          help Display a list of possible blanking types.

          all Blank the entire disk. This may take a long
                      time.

          fast Minimally blank the disk. This results in
                      erasing the PMA, the TOC and the pregap.

          track Blank a track.

          unreserve Unreserve a reserved track.

          trtail Blank the tail of a track.

          unclose Unclose last session.

          session Blank the last session.
===========================================================

I am assuming you already know how to write a cdr[w]?

If I wanted to blank the whole disk with my old 2x drive I would do:

# cdrecord -v speed=2 blank=all dev=0,0,0
