@c Notes about embedded man page:
@c This texinfo code contains the necessary info to produce a man page
@c which resembles much the version of xorriso.1 from which this code
@c was originally derived in march 2010.
@c One can produce the man page by applying the following rules:
@c   The first line gets discarded.
@c   Line start "@c man " will become "", the remainder is put out unaltered.
@c   Lines "@*" will be converted to ".br"
@c   "@c man-ignore-lines N"  will discard N following lines.
@c   "@c man-ignore-lines begin" discards all following lines
@c   up to "@c man-ignore-lines end".
@c   Line blocks of "@menu" "@end menu" will be discarded.
@c   "@item word words" becomes "\fBword\fR words".
@c   @b{...}, @command{...}, @dfn{...}, @emph{...}, @strong{...}
@c     get mapped to \fB...\fR .
@c   @abbr{...}, @code{...}, @file{...}, @i{...}, @option{...}, @r{...},
@c     @ref{...}, @samp{...},@var{...}, get mapped to ... .
@c   @ref{...}, @xref{...} get mapped to empty text.
@c   @email{...} gets mapped to <...> .
@c   Mapped {...} content is subject to the rules except {...} mapping.
@c   @minus{} will become "-".
@c   @@ , @{, @} will get stripped of their first @.
@c   Other lines which begin by "@" will be discarded.
@c   In lines not stemming from "@c man", "\" becomes "\\"
@c   "-" which are not preceded by an uneven number of "\" will get
@c     prepended one "\".

@c man .B xorrisofs
@c man [ options ] [-o filename ] pathspec [pathspecs ...]
@c man .br
@c man .SH DESCRIPTION
@c man .PP
@command{xorrisofs}
produces Rock Ridge enhanced ISO 9660 filesystems and add-on sessions to
such filesystems. Optionally it can produce Joliet directory trees too.
@*
@sp 1
@c man .PP
@command{xorrisofs} understands options of program mkisofs from cdrtools by
Joerg Schilling.
Its implementation is part of program xorriso which shares no source
code with cdrtools.

@c man \fBISO 9660, Rock Ridge, Joliet:\fR
@c man .br
@cindex ISO 9660, _definiton
@cindex ECMA-119, _definiton
@strong{ISO 9660}
(aka @strong{ECMA-119}) is a read-only filesystem that is mainly used for
optical media CD, DVD, BD, but may also reside on other storage devices like
disk files, USB sticks or disk partitions. It is widely readable by many
operating systems and by boot facilities of personal computers.
@*
ISO 9660 describes directories and data files by
very restricted filenames with no distinction of upper case and lower case. 
Its metadata do not comply to fundamental POSIX specifications.
@*
@cindex Rock Ridge, _definiton
@strong{Rock Ridge}
is the name of a set of additional information which enhance
an ISO 9660 filesystem so that it can represent a POSIX compliant filesystem
with ownership, access permissions, symbolic links, and other attributes.
Rock Ridge allows filenames of up to 255 bytes and paths of up to
1024 bytes.
@*
Rock Ridge information is produced unconditionally with any @command{xorrisofs}
image.
@*
@cindex Joliet, _definiton
@strong{Joliet} 
is the name of an additional directory tree which provides
filenames up to 64 characters encoded as UTF-16.
A Joliet tree is mainly interesting for reading the ISO image by
operating systems of Microsoft Corporation.
Production of this directory tree may be enabled by option -J.
@*
@cindex ISO 9660:1999, _definiton
@strong{ISO 9660:1999}
is the name of an additional directory tree which provides longer
filenames. It allows single file names to have up to 207 characters.
It might be of use with some older computer system boot
facilities which read neither Rock Ridge nor Joliet but
need longer filenames nevertheless.
Production of this directory tree may be enabled by option -iso-level 4.

@c man .B Inserting files into the ISO image:
@node Insert, Xorriso, Standards, Top
@chapter Inserting files into the ISO image
@c man .PP
@command{xorrisofs} deals with two kinds of file addresses:
@*
@cindex disk_path, _definition
@strong{disk_path}
is a path to an object in the local filesystem tree.
@*
@cindex iso_rr_path, _definition
@strong{iso_rr_path}
is the Rock Ridge address of a file object in the ISO image. (Do not
confuse with the lowlevel ISO 9660 names visible if Rock Ridge gets ignored.)
@cindex pathspec, _definition
@*
@sp 1
@c man .PP
A program argument is handled as a @strong{pathspec}, if it is not
recognized as original mkisofs option or additional @command{xorrisofs} option.
A pathspec depicts an input file object by a disk_path. 
If option -graft-points is not present, then the behavior depends on the
file type of disk_path. Directories get merged with the /-directory of the
ISO image. Files of other types get copied into the /-directory. 
@*
If -graft-points is present then each pathspec gets split at the first
occurence of the =-character.
The part before the = is taken as @strong{target}, i.e. the iso_rr_path for
the file object in the ISO image. The part after the first = is taken
as @strong{source}, i.e. the disk_path of the input object.
@*
It is possible to make =-characters part of the iso_rr_path by preceding
them with a \-character. The same must be done for \-characters which
shall be part of the iso_rr_path.
@*
@sp 1
@c man .PP
If the source part of the pathspec leads to a directory, then all files
underneath this directory get inserted into the image, too.
It is possible to exclude particular files from being inserted
by help of option -m.
@*
In case that target already exists, the following rules apply:
Directories and other files may overwrite existing non-directories.
Directories get merged with existing directories.
Non-directories may not overwrite existing directories.

@chapter Relation to program xorriso
@c man \fBRelation to program xorriso:\fR
@c man .br
@cindex xorriso, mkisofs emulation
@command{xorrisofs} is actually a command mode of program @strong{xorriso},
which gets entered either by xorriso command "-as mkisofs" or by
starting the program by one of the names "xorrisofs", "mkisofs",
"genisoimage", or "genisofs".
@*
This command mode can be left by argument "@minus{}@minus{}" which leads
to generic xorriso command mode. See @strong{man xorriso} for its description.
@*
@sp 1
@c man .PP
xorriso performs image reading and writing by help of libburn, which is
mainly intended for optical drives, but also operates on all POSIX
file types except directories.
@*
The program messages call any image file a "drive". File types which are not
supported for reading are reported as "blank". The reported free media
space may be quite fictional.
@*
Nevertheless @command{xorrisofs} does not operate directly on optical drives,
but rather forces libburn to regard them as general device files.
So for writing of sequential optical media (CD, DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-R)
one will have to use a burn program. E.g the cdrecord emulation of xorriso.
See EXAMPLES.

@node Loading, SetInsert, Options, Options
@section Influencing the behavior of image loading
@c man .PP
The following options control loading of an existing ISO image for the purpose
of preparing a suitable add-on session.
If they are missing then a new image is composed from scratch.
@table @asis
@sp 1
@c man .TP
@item -M disk_path
@kindex -M   set path for loading existing ISO image
@cindex Session, select path, -M, -prev-session, -dev
Set the path from which to load the existing ISO image directory tree
on which to base the upcomming directory tree as add-on session.
The path must lead to a random-access readable file object.
On GNU/Linux: regular data files or block device files.
@*
A special kind of pseudo disk_path has the form "/dev/fd/"number.
It depicts the open file descriptor with the given number, regardless whether
the operating system supports this feature by file nodes in /dev/fd or not.
E.g. /dev/fd/3 is file descriptor 3 which was opened by the program that
later started xorriso.
@c man .TP
@item -prev-session disk_path
@kindex -prev-session   set path for loading existing ISO image
Alias of -M.
@c man .TP
@item -dev disk_path
@kindex -dev   set path for loading existing ISO image
Alias of -M.
@c man .TP
@item -C last_session_start,next_writeable_address
@kindex -C   set load address and write address offset
@cindex Session, set load and write address, -C, -cdrecord-params
Set the 2 KiB block address last_session_start from where to read the
ISO image out of the file given by option -M.
@*
Separated by a comma, set the next_writeable_address to which the
add-on session will finally be written. Decisive is actually the block
address which the intended readers will have to use as superblock address
on the intended media.
@*
Both values can be inquired from optical media by help of burn programs
and cdrecord option -msinfo. xorriso itself can obtain it in its
cdrecord emulation. Do not let it load the drive, but rather do this manually
or by a program like dd which reads a few bytes. Only then it is sure that
the device driver knows the true readable size of the media.
@*
@sp 1
  dd if=/dev/... count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
@*
  values=$(xorriso -as cdrecord dev=/dev/... -msinfo)
@*
  echo $values
@*
@sp 1
Option -C may be used without option -M to create an ISO image from
scratch and prepare it for being finally written to a block address
other than 0. Parameter last_session_start must then be set to 0.
@c man .TP
@item -cdrecord-params last_session_start,next_writeable_address
@kindex -cdrecord-params   set load address and write address offset
Alias of -C.

@table @asis
@sp 1
@c man .TP
@item -path-list disk_path
@kindex -path-list   read pathspecs from disk file
@cindex pathspec, read list of, -path-list
Read pathspecs line-by-line from disk_file and insert the depicted file
objects into the ISO image. If disk_path is "-" then read the pathspecs
from standard input.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}quoted_path_list disk_path
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}quoted_path_list   read pathspecs from disk file
@cindex pathspec, read list of, @minus{}@minus{}quoted_path_list
Like option -path-list but reading quoted words rather than plain lines.
Whitespace outside of quotes will be discarded. On the other hand it is
possible to represent pathspecs which contain newline characters.
@*
The double quotation mark " and the single quotation mark ' can be used to
enclose whitespace and make it part of pathspecs. Each mark
type can enclose the marks of the other type. A trailing backslash \ outside
quotations or an open quotation cause the next input line to be appended.
@c man .TP
@item -f
@kindex -f   follow symbolic links on disk
@cindex Links, follow on disk, -f, -follow-links
@*
Resolve symbolic links on disk rather than storing them as symbolic
links in the ISO image.
@c man .TP
@item -follow-links
@kindex -follow-links   follow symbolic links on disk
Alias of -f.
@c man .TP
@item -graft-points
@kindex -graft-points   enable target=source pathspecs
@cindex pathspec, enable target=source, -graft-points
Enable interpretation of input file pathspecs as combination of iso_rr_path
and disk_path, separated by a =-character.
@c man .TP
@item -m disk_pattern
@kindex -m   exclude disk files from inserting
@cindex Disk files, exclude, -m, -exclude, -x, -old-exclude
Exclude files from being inserted into the image. Silently ignored are
those files of which the disk_path matches the given shell parser pattern.
If no /-character is part of the pattern, then it gets matched against
the leaf name of the disk file.
@*
It is possible to give more than one -m option.
@c man .TP
@item -exclude
@kindex -exclude   exclude disk files from inserting
Alias of -m.
@c man .TP
@item -x
@kindex -x   exclude disk files from inserting
@*
Alias of -m.
@c man .TP
@item -old-exclude
@kindex -old-exclude   exclude disk files from inserting
Alias of -m.
@c man .TP
@item -exclude-list disk_path
@kindex -exclude-list   exclude disk files from inserting
@cindex Disk files, exclude, -hide-list
Perform -m using each line out of file disk_path as argument disk_pattern.
@c man .TP
@item -z
@kindex -z   enable recognition of zisofs files
@cindex zisofs file, enable recognition, -z, -transparent-compression
@*
Enable recognition and proper processing of zisofs compressed files
as produced by program mkzftree. These files will get equipped with the
necessary meta data so that a Linux kernel will recognize them and
deliver their content in uncompressed form.
@c man .TP
@item -transparent-compression
@kindex -transparent-compression   enable recognition of zisofs files
Alias of -z.
@c man .TP
@item -root iso_rr_path
@kindex -root   redirect ISO root directory
@cindex ISO root directory, redirect, -root
Insert all files under the given iso_rr_path. If option -graft-points is given,
then iso_rr_path is prepended to each target part of a pathspec.
@*
The default for -root is "/".
@c man .TP
@item -old-root iso_rr_path
@kindex -old-root   enable incremental insertion
@cindex Incremental insertion, enable, -old-root
Enable incremental insertion of files into the loaded image.
The effective target and source addresses of given pathspecs get compared
whether the target already exists in the ISO image and is still identical
to the source on disk. Metadata in the ISO image will get adjusted, if they
differ from those on disk.
New files and files with changed content will get newly added.
Target files which do not exist in any of the according pathspec sources
will get removed from the ISO directory tree.
@*
If the effective setting of -root differs from the iso_rr_path given
with -old-root, then the files underneath the -old-root directory get cloned
underneath the -root directory. Cloning happens before file comparison.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-ino
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-ino   disable disk ino with -old-root
@cindex Incremental insertion, disable disk ino, @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-ino
Disable recording and use of disk inode numbers.
If no disk inode numbers are recorded, then option -old-root will have
to read disk file content and compare it with the MD5 checksum that is
recorded in the ISO image.
@*
With recorded disk inode numbers and with credible ctime and mtime,
it is possible to detect potential changes in the content without actually
reading it.
A loophole remains if multiple different filesystems may get mounted
at the same directory, like it is habit with /mnt.
In this case one has to use option @minus{}@minus{}old-root-devno
or disable the inode number shortcut by @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-ino.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}old-root-devno
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}old-root-devno   enable disk idevno with -old-root
@cindex Incremental insertion, enable disk devno, @minus{}@minus{}old-root-devno
Enable comparison of recorded device numbers together with recorded
inode numbers. This works only with good old stable device numbers which
get out of fashion, regrettably. If the hard disk has a different
device number after each reboot, then this comparison will see all
files as changed and thus prevent any incremental size saving.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-md5
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-md5   disable MD5 with -old-root
@cindex Incremental insertion, disable MD5, @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-md5
Disable recording and use of MD5 checksums for data file content.
If neither checksums and nor disk inode numbers are recorded, then
option -old-root will have to read ISO image file content when comparing
it with disk file content.

@c man .TP
@item -o disk_path
@kindex -o   set output file address
@cindex Output file, set address, -o, -output
Set the output file address for the emerging ISO image.
If the address exists as regular file, it will be truncated to length 0
when image production begins. It may not already exist as directory.
If it does not exist yet then its parent directory must exist and
a regular file will get created.
@*
A special kind of pseudo disk_path has the form "/dev/fd/"number.
It depicts the open file descriptor with the given number, regardless whether
the operating system supports this feature by file nodes in /dev/fd or not.
E.g. /dev/fd/4 is file descriptor 4 which was opened by the program that
later started xorriso.
@*
Default is standard output (/dev/fd/1) which may also be set by disk_path "-".
@c man .TP
@item -output disk_path
@kindex -output   set output file address
Alias of -o.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}stdio_sync "on"|"off"|number
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}stdio_sync   control forced output to disk files
@cindex Forced output, control, @minus{}@minus{}stdio_sync
Set the number of bytes after which to force output to disk
in order to keep the memory from being clogged with lots of
pending data for slow devices. Default "on" is the same as "16m".
Forced output can be disabled by "off".
@*
xorriso uses an inner fifo buffer with default size 4 MiB. So forcing
the operating system i/o cache to disk does not necessarily block the
simultaneous production of more image content.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}emul-toc
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}emul-toc   enable table-of-content emulation
@cindex Table-of-content, emulation, @minus{}@minus{}emul-toc
Write a second superblock with the first session into random-access
files. If further sessions get appended and the first superblock gets updated,
then the second superblock will not be overwritten. This allows to still
mount the first session and to find the start blocks of the further sessions.
@*
The price is 64 KiB extra space consumption. If -partition_offset is non-zero,
then it is 128 KiB plus twice the partition setup.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}no-emul-toc
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}no-emul-toc   no table-of-content emulation
@cindex Table-of-content, emulation off, @minus{}@minus{}no-emul-toc
Do not write a second superblock with the first session into random-access
files.
@*
This is the default.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}sort-weight weight_number iso_rr_path
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}sort-weight   set output file address
@cindex Block address, set sort weight, @minus{}@minus{}sort-weight
Attribute a LBA weight number to regular files. If iso_rr_path leads
to a directory then all regular files underneath will get the weight_number.
@*
The weight_number may range from -2147483648 to 2147483647.
The higher it is, the lower will be the block address of the file data
in the emerging ISO image.
Currently the El Torito boot catalog has a hardcoded weight of 1 billion.
Normally it should occupy the block with the lowest possible address.
Data files get added or loaded with initial weight 0.
@c man .TP
@item -dir-mode mode
@kindex -dir-mode   permissions for all directories
@cindex Permissions, for all directories, -dir-mode
Set the access permissions for all directories in the image to the given
mode which is either an octal number beginning with "0" or a comma separated
list of statements of the form [ugoa]*[+-=][rwxst]* . E.g. ug=rx,a-rwx
@c man .TP
@item -file-mode mode
@kindex -file-mode   permissions for all data files
@cindex Permissions, for all data files, -file-mode
Like -dir-mode but for all regular data files in the image.
@c man .TP
@item -pad
@kindex -pad   add 300 KiB of zeros to ISO tree
@cindex Padding, 300 KiB, -pad
@*
Add 300 KiB to the end of the produced ISO image. This circumvents possible
read errors from ISO images which have been written to CD media in TAO mode.
The additional bytes are claimed as part of the ISO image if not --emul-toc
is given.
@*
Option -pad is the default.
@c man .TP
@item -no-pad
@kindex -no-pad   do not add zeros to ISO tree
@cindex Padding, disable, -no-pad
Disable padding of 300 KiB to the end of the produced ISO image.
This is safe if the image is not meant to be written on CD or if it
gets written to CD as only track in write mode SAO.
@c man .TP
@item @minus{}@minus{}old-empty
@kindex @minus{}@minus{}old-empty   old block addresses for empty files
@cindex Padding, disable, @minus{}@minus{}old-empty
Use the old way of of giving block addresses in the range
of [0,31] to files with no own data content. The new way is to have
a dedicated block to which all such files will point.

@node Bootable, SystemArea, ImageId, Options
@section El Torito Bootable ISO images
@c man .PP
The precondition for a bootable ISO image is to have in the ISO image
the files of a boot loader. The boot facilities of computers get
directed to such files, which usually execute further program files
from the ISO image.
@command{xorrisofs} can produce several kinds of boot block or boot record,
which become part of the ISO image, and get interpreted by the according
boot facility.
@*
@c man .PP
@sp 1
@cindex El Torito, _definiton
An @strong{El Torito}
boot record points the bootstrapping facility to a boot catalog
with one or more boot images, which are binary program files stored in
the ISO image.
The content of the boot image files is not in the scope of El Torito.
@*
xorriso composes the boot catalog according to the boot image
files given and structured by options -b, -e, -el-torito-alt-boot,
and @minus{}@minus{}efi-boot. Often it contains only one entry.
@*
El Torito gets interpreted by boot facilities PC-BIOS and EFI.
Most bootable GNU/Linux CDs are equipped with ISOLINUX or GRUB boot images
for PC-BIOS.

@command{xorrisofs} supports the example options out of the ISOLINUX wiki,
the options used in GRUB script grub-mkrescue, and the example in the
FreeBSD AvgLiveCD wiki.

This preparation is normally done by ISOLINUX program isohybrid
on the already produced ISO image.
@*
The disk path should lead to one of the Syslinux files isohdp[fp]x*.bin .
The MBR gets patched according to isohybrid needs. The first partition
describes the range of the ISO image. Its start is at block 0 by default,

@c man .TP
@item -partition_offset 2kb_block_adr
@kindex -partition_offset   Make mountable by partition 1
@cindex Mountability, by non-trivial partition 1, -partition_offset
Cause a partition table with a single partition that begins at the
given block address. This is counted in 2048 byte
blocks, not in 512 byte blocks. If the block address is non-zero then it must
be at least 16. Values larger than 16 are hardly of use.
A non-zero partition offset causes two superblocks to be
generated and two sets of directory trees. The image is then mountable from its
absolute start as well as from the partition start.
@*
The offset value of an ISO image gets preserved when a new session is added
to a loaded image.
So the value defined here is only in effect if a new ISO image gets written.
@c man .TP
@item -partition_hd_cyl number
@kindex -partition_hd_cyl   MBR heads per cylinder
@cindex MBR, sectors per head, -partition_sec_hd
Set the number of heads per cylinder for the partition table.

@c man .TP
@item -partition_sec_hd number
@kindex -partition_sec_hd   MBR sectors per head
@cindex MBR, sectors per head, -partition_sec_hd
Set the number of sectors per head for the partition table.
0 chooses a default value. Maximum is 63.
@*
The product partition_sec_hd * partition_hd_cyl * 512 is the cylinder size.
It should be divisible by 2048 in order to allow exact alignment.
If it is too small to describe the image size by at most 1024 cylinders,
then appropriate values of partition_hd_cyl are chosen with 
partition_sec_hd 32 or 63. If the image is larger than 8,422,686,720 bytes,
then the cylinder size constraints cannot be fulfilled. They seem not overly
important anyway. Flat block addresses in partition tables are good for 1 TiB.
@c man .TP

Cylinder size must be divisible by 2048.
Images larger than 8,323,596,288 bytes cannot be aligned.
@*
Mode "auto" is default. Alignment by padding happens only if
option -isohybrid-mbr is given.
@*
Mode "on" causes alignment by padding with option
@minus{}@minus{}protective-msdos-label too.
Mode "off" disables alignment unconditionally.
@c man .TP
@item -append_partition partition_number type_code disk_path
@kindex -append_partition   Append MBR partition after image
@cindex MBR, append partition, -append_partition
Cause a prepared filesystem image to be appended to the ISO image and to be
described by a partition table entry in a boot block at the start of the
emerging ISO image. The partition entry will bear the size of the submitted
file rounded up to the next multiple of 2048 bytes.
@*
Beware of subsequent multi-session runs. The appended partition will get
overwritten.
@*
partition_number may be 1 to 4. Number 1 will put the whole ISO image into
the unclaimed space before partition 1. So together with most xorriso MBR
features, number 2 would be the most natural choice.
@*
The type_code may be "FAT12", "FAT16", "Linux",
or a hexadecimal number between 0x00 and 0xff. Not all those numbers will
yield usable results. For a list of codes search the Internet for
"Partition Types" or run fdisk command "L".

Cause one or more data files on disk to be written after the end of the
ISO image. A SUN Disk Label will be written into the first 512 bytes of the
ISO image which lists this image as partition 1 and the given disk_paths as
partition 2 up to 8.
@*
The disk files should contain suitable boot images for SUN SPARC systems.
@*
The pseudo disk_path "..." causes that all empty partition entries become
copies of the last non-empty entry. If no other disk_path is given before
"..." then all partitions describe the ISO image. In this case, the boot
loader code has to be imported by option -G.

@cindex Jigdo Template Extraction, _definition
From man genisoimage:
"Jigdo is a tool to help in the distribution of large files like CD and
DVD images; see http://atterer.net/jigdo/ for more details. Debian CDs
and DVD ISO images are published on the web in jigdo format to allow
end users to download them more efficiently."
@*
If the use of libjte was enabled at compile time of xorriso, then
@command{xorrisofs} can produce a .jigdo and a .template file together with a
single-session ISO image. If not, then Jigdo options will cause a
FAILURE event, which normally leads to program abort.
@*
One may determine the ability for Jigdo by:
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorrisofs -version 2>&1 | grep '^libjte' && echo YES 
@*
@sp 1
@c man .PP
The .jigdo file contains checksums and symbolic file addresses.
The .template file contains the compressed ISO image with reference tags
instead of the content bytes of the listed files.
@*
Input for this process are the normal arguments for a @command{xorrisofs}
session
with no image loaded, and a .md5 file which lists those data files which may be
listed in the .jigdo file and externally referenced in the .template file.
Each designated file is represented in the .md5 file by a single text line:
@*
MD5 as 32 hex digits, 2 blanks, size as 12 decimal digits or blanks, 2 blanks,
symbolic file address
@*
The file address in an .md5 line has to bear the same basename as the
disk_path of the file which it shall match. The directory path of
the file address is decisive for To=From mapping, not for file recognition.
After To=From mapping, the file address gets written into the .jigdo
file. Jigdo restore tools will convert these addresses into really
reachable data source addresses from which they can read.
@*
If the list of jigdo parameters is not empty, then padding will be
counted as part of the ISO image.

@kindex -jigdo-exclude   add exclusion pattern for .md5
@cindex Jigdo Template Extraction, -jigdo-exclude

stay in .template in any case.
@c man .TP
@item -jigdo-map To=From
@kindex -jigdo-map   add address translation for .jigdo
@cindex Jigdo Template Extraction, -jigdo-map
Add a string pair of the form To=From to the parameter list.
If a data file gets listed in the .jigdo file, then it is referred by the
file address from its line in the .md5 file. This file address gets checked
whether it begins with the From string. If so, then this string will be
replaced by the To string and a ':' character, before it goes into the .jigdo
file. The From string should end by a '/' character.

@section A simple image production run
A prepared file tree in directory ./for_iso gets copied into the root
directory of the ISO image. File permissions get set to read-only for
everybody.
Joliet attributes for Microsoft systems get added.
The resulting image gets written as data file ./image.iso on disk.

@c man .B Set ISO image paths by -graft-points
@node ExGraft, ExMkisofs, ExSimple, Examples
@section Set ISO image paths by -graft-points
Without option -graft-points each given disk file is copied into the root
directory of the ISO image, maintaining its name. If a directory is given,
then its files and sub-directories are copied into the root directory,
maintaining their names.
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorrisofs ... /home/me/datafile /tmp/directory
@*
@sp 1
yields in the ISO image root directory:
@*
@sp 1
  /datafile
@*
  /file_1_from_directory
@*
  ...
@*
  /file_N_from_directory
@*
@sp 1
@c man .sp 1
With option -graft-points it is possible to put files and directories to
arbitrary paths in the ISO image.
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorrisofs ... -graft-points /home/me/datafile /dir=/tmp/directory
@*
@sp 1
yields in the ISO image root directory:
@*
@sp 1
  /datafile
@*
  /dir
@*
@sp 1
Eventually needed parent directories in
the image will be created automatically:
@*
@sp 1
  /datafiles/file1=/home/me/datafile
@*
@sp 1
yields in the ISO image:
@sp 1
@*
  /datafiles/file1
@*
@sp 1
The attributes of directory /datafiles get copied from /home/me on disk.

@c man .B Perform multi-session runs
@node ExMkisofs, ExGrowisofs, ExGraft, Examples
@section Perform multi-session runs
This example works for multi-session media only:
CD-R[W], DVD-R[W], DVD+R, BD-R.
Add cdrskin option @minus{}@minus{}grow_overwriteable_iso
to all -as cdrecord runs
in order to enable multi-session emulation on overwriteable media.
@*
The first session is written like this:
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorrisofs -graft-points \
@*
              /tree1=prepared_for_iso/tree1 \
@*
    | xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=fast -multi -eject - 
@*
@sp 1
Follow-up sessions are written like this:
@*
@sp 1
  $ dd if=/dev/sr0 count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
@*
  $ m=$(xorriso -as cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -msinfo)
@*
  $ xorrisofs -M /dev/sr0 -C $m -graft-points \
@*
              /tree2=prepared_for_iso/tree2 \
@*
    | xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 -waiti -multi -eject -
@*
@sp 1
Always eject the drive tray between sessions. The old sessions
get read via /dev/sr0. Its device driver might not be aware
of the changed content before it loads the media again.
In this case the previous session would not be loaded and the
new session would contain only the newly added files.
@*
For the same reason do not let xorriso -as cdrecord load the media,
but rather do this manually or by a program that reads from /dev/sr0.
@c man .SS
@c man .B Let xorrisofs work underneath growisofs
@node ExGrowisofs, ExIncBackup, ExMkisofs, Examples
@section Let xorriso work underneath growisofs
growisofs expects an ISO formatter program which understands options -C and
-M. A variable is defined to override the hardcoded default name.
@*
@sp 1
  $ export MKISOFS="xorrisofs"
@*
  $ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd /some/files
@*
  $ growisofs -M /dev/dvd /more/files
@*
@sp 1
If no "xorrisofs" is available on your system, then you will have to create
a link pointing to the xorriso binary and tell growisofs to use it. E.g. by:
@*
@sp 1
  $ ln -s $(which xorriso) "$HOME/xorrisofs"
@*
  $ export MKISOFS="$HOME/xorrisofs"
@*
@sp 1
One may quit mkisofs emulation by argument "@minus{}@minus{}" and make
use of all xorriso commands. growisofs dislikes options which
start with "-o" but -outdev must be set to "-".
So use "outdev" instead:
@*
@sp 1
  $ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd @minus{}@minus{}for_backup @minus{}@minus{} \
@*
              outdev - -update_r /my/files /files
@*
  $ growisofs -M /dev/dvd @minus{}@minus{}for_backup @minus{}@minus{} \
@*
              outdev - -update_r /my/files /files
@*
Note that @minus{}@minus{}for_backup is given in the mkisofs emulation.
To preserve the recorded extra data it must already be in effect, when
the emulation loads the image.
@c man .SS
@c man .B Incremental backup of a few directory trees
@node ExIncBackup, ExIncBckAcc, ExGrowisofs, Examples
@section Incremental backup of a few directory trees
This changes the directory trees /open_source_project and /personal_mail
in the ISO image so that they become exact copies of their disk counterparts.
ISO file objects get created, deleted or get their attributes adjusted
accordingly.
@*
ACL, xattr, hard links and MD5 checksums will be recorded.
It is expected that inode numbers in the disk filesystem are persistent
over cycles of mounting and booting.
Files with names matching *.o or *.swp get excluded explicitly.
@*
@sp 1
@c man .sp 1
To be used several times on the same media, whenever an update of
the two disk trees to the media is desired. Begin with blank media and start
a new blank media when the run fails due to lack of remaining space on
the old one.
@*
Do not let xorriso -as cdrecord load the media,
but rather do this manually or by a program that reads from /dev/sr0.
@*
@sp 1
  $ dd if=/dev/sr0 count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1

@strong{Better do not use your youngest backup for -old-root}.
Have at least two media which you use alternatingly. So only older backups

attempt fails due to insufficient remaining capacity.
@*
@sp 1
@c man .sp 1
If inode numbers on disk are not persistent, then use

@c man .sp 1
With @strong{mount} option @strong{-o "sbsector="} on GNU/Linux
resp. @strong{-s} on FreeBSD
it is possible to access the session trees which represent the older backup
versions. With CD media, GNU/Linux mount accepts session numbers directly by
its option "session=".
@*
Multi-session media and most overwriteable media written by xorriso can tell
the sbsectors of their sessions by xorriso option -toc:
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorriso -dev /dev/sr0 -toc
@*
@sp 1
xorriso can print the matching mount command for a session number:
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorriso -mount_cmd /dev/sr0 session 12 /mnt
@*
@sp 1
or for a volume id that matches a search expression:
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorriso -mount_cmd /dev/sr0 volid '*2008_12_05*' /mnt
@*
@sp 1
Both yield on standard output something like:
@*
  mount -t iso9660 -o nodev,noexec,nosuid,ro,sbsector=1460256 '/dev/sr0' '/mnt'
@*
@sp 1
The superuser may let xorriso execute the mount command directly:
@*
@sp 1
  # osirrox -mount /dev/sr0 "volid" '*2008_12_05*' /mnt
@c man .SS
@c man .B Incremental backup with accumulated trees
@node ExIncBckAcc, ExBootable, ExIncBackup, Examples
@section Incremental backup with accumulated trees
Solaris does not offer the option to mount older sessions.
In order to keep them accessible, one may map all files to a file tree under
a session directory and accumulate those directories from session to session.
The -root tree is cloned from the -old-root tree before it gets
compared with the appropriate trees on disk.
@*
This demands to know the previously used session directory name.
@*
With the first session:
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorrisofs -root /session1 \
@*
    -o - @minus{}@minus{}for_backup -m '*.o' -m '*.swp' \
@*
    -V PROJ_MAIL_"$(date '+%Y_%m_%d_%H%M%S')" -graft-points \
@*
    /projects=/home/thomas/projects \
@*
    /personal_mail=/home/thomas/personal_mail \
@*
    | xorriso -as cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -v blank=as_needed \
@*
              -multi -waiti -eject -
@*
@sp 1
@c man .sp 1
With the second session, option -old-root refers to /session1 and the
new -root is /session2.
@*
Do not let xorriso -as cdrecord load the media,
but rather do this manually or by a program that reads from /dev/sr0.
@*
@sp 1
  $ dd if=/dev/sr0 count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
@*
  $ msinfo=$(xorriso -as cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -msinfo)
@*
  $ load_opts=
@*
  $ test -n "$msinfo" && load_opts="-M /dev/sr0 -C $msinfo"
@*
  $ xorrisofs $load_opts -root /session2 -old-root /session1 \
@*
    -o - @minus{}@minus{}for_backup -m '*.o' -m '*.swp' \
@*
    -V PROJ_MAIL_"$(date '+%Y_%m_%d_%H%M%S')" -graft-points \

@*
    | xorriso -as cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -v -multi -waiti -eject -

With the third session, option -old-root refers to /session2.
The new -root is /session3. And so on.

@c man .B Create bootable images for PC-BIOS
@node ExBootable, , ExIncBckAcc, Examples
@section Create bootable images for PC-BIOS
The ISOLINUX wiki prescribes to create on disk a directory ./CD_root and
to copy all desired files underneath that directory. Especially file
isolinux.bin shall be copied to ./CD_root/isolinux/isolinux.bin .
This is the boot image file.
@*
The prescribed mkisofs options can be used unchanged with @command{xorrisofs}:
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorrisofs -o output.iso \
@*
      -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
@*
      -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
@*
      ./CD_root
@*
@sp 1
Put it on CD by a burn program. E.g.:
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=as_needed output.iso
@*
@sp 1
@c man .sp 1
The image from above example will boot from CD, DVD or BD, but not from
USB stick or other hard-disk-like devices. This can be done by help of an
isohybrid MBR. Syslinux provides matching template files
as isohdp[fp]x*.bin . E.g. /usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin .
@*
If a few hundred KB of size do not matter, then option -partition_offset
can be used to create a partition table where partition 1 starts not
at block 0. This facilitates later manipulations of the USB stick by
tools for partitioning and formatting.
@*
The image from the following example will be prepared for booting via MBR
and its first parttion will start at hard disk block 64.
@*
It will also boot from optical media.
@*
@sp 1
  $ xorrisofs -o output.iso \
@*  
      -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
@*  
      -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
@*
      -isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin \
@*
      -partition_offset 16 \
@*
      ./CD_root
@*
@sp 1
Become superuser and copy the image to the unpartitioned base device file
of the USB stick. On GNU/Linux this is e.g. /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1.
@*
CAUTION:
This will overwrite any partitioning on the USB stick and make
remaining data unaccessible.
@*
So first make sure you got the correct address of the intended device.
E.g. by reading 100 MiB data from it and watching it blinking:
@*
@sp 1
  # dd bs=2K if=/dev/sdb count=50K >/dev/null
@*
@sp 1
Now copy the image onto it
