xorriso: Overview
1 Overview
**********
'xorriso' is a program which copies file objects from POSIX compliant
filesystems into Rock Ridge enhanced ISO 9660 filesystems and performs
session-wise manipulation of such filesystems. It can load the
management information of existing ISO images and it writes the session
results to optical media or to filesystem objects.
Vice versa 'xorriso' is able to copy file objects out of ISO 9660
filesystems.
A special property of 'xorriso' is that it needs neither an external
ISO 9660 formatter program nor an external burn program for CD, DVD or
BD but rather incorporates the libraries of libburnia-project.org .

Updates ISO subtrees incrementally to match given disk subtrees.
Writes result either as completely new image or as add-on session to

Can perform multi-session tasks as emulation of mkisofs and cdrecord.
Can record and restore hard links and ACL.
Content may get zisofs compressed or filtered by external processes.
Can issue commands to mount older sessions on GNU/Linux or FreeBSD.
Can check media for damages and copy readable blocks to disk.
Can attach MD5 checksums to each data file and the whole session.
Scans for optical drives, blanks re-useable optical media.
Reads its instructions from command line arguments, dialog, and files.
Provides navigation commands for interactive ISO image manipulation.
Adjustable thresholds for abort, exit value, and problem reporting.
