Description-en: command line ISO-9660 and Rock Ridge manipulation tool
xorriso is a command line and dialog application, which creates, loads,
manipulates, and writes ISO-9660 file system images with Rock Ridge
extensions.
.
It maps file objects from POSIX compliant file systems into Rock Ridge
enhanced ISO-9660 file systems and features session-wise manipulation
of such file systems. It can load the management information of existing
ISO images and write the resulting session to optical medium or as
file system objects.
.
Supported optical media types:
- CD-R, CD-RW
- DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM
- BD-R, BD-RE
.
Some interesting features:
- Emulation of the mkisofs and cdrecord programs.
- Data backup and restore capabilities - compression, ACLs, and filters.
- Isohybrid MBR with partition offset - features booting ISOLINUX from
USB sticks, or from other devices that appear to PC-BIOS as hard disks.
The images carry a conventional partition table for a USB stick;
the first partition reports the size of the ISO image, but starts at a
non-zero address. It is nevertheless still mountable.
- Jigdo Template Export - jigdo representation of the resulting ISO-9660
image, generated on the fly.
.
Test suite:
xorriso source code comes with a release engineering test-suite called
`releng', which aims to cover most of the functionality of the xorriso
and the underlying libraries of libburn, libisofs, and libisoburn.
