# 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
