usage: xorriso [settings|actions]
This program creates, loads, manipulates and writes ISO 9660 filesystem
images with Rock Ridge extensions. Write targets can be drives with optical
media or local filesystem objects.
The program operations are controlled by a sequence of commands, of which
the initial ones are given as program arguments or as lines in startup
files. Further commands may get read from files in batch mode or from
standard input in dialog mode.
-x Only in effect if given as program argument:
Execute commands given as program arguments in a sequence
that most likely makes some sense. Default is to execute
program arguments exactly in the sequence as given.
Preparation commands:

Commands with variable length path list [...] need the list delimiter text
as end mark if they are followed by another command. By default this
delimiter is "--". In dialog and with commands read from files, the line
end serves as such a mark. With program arguments this mark can be omitted
only with the last command in the list of program arguments.
For brevity the list delimiter is referred as "--" throughout this text.
-list_delimiter text Set the list delimiter to be used instead of "--"
It has to be a single word, must not be empty, not longer
than 80 characters, may mot contain quotation marks.

lim may be any word that is not among prog and args.
-mount drive entity id path
Like -mount_cmd but actually performing that command if
not setuid or setgid is active.
Evaluation of readability:
-check_media [options] --
Try to read data blocks from the medium and report about the
outcome. Several options modify the behavior:
use=indev|outdev , what=track|session ,
min_lba=blockadr , max_lba=blockadr ,
abort_file=path , time_limit=seconds , item_limit=number ,
retry=on|off|default , data_to=filepath ,
sector_map=filepath , map_with_volid=on|off ,
patch_lba0=on|off|force|blockadr[:force] ,
report=blocks|files|blocks_files event=severity ,
bad_limit=quality , slow_limit=seconds , chunk_size=bytes
-check_media_defaults [options] --
Preset options for runs of -check_media and -extract_cut.
Compatibility emulation (option list may be ended by list delimiter --):
-as mkisofs [-help|-version|-o|-R|-r|-J|-V|-P|-f|-m|-exclude-list|
-no-pad|-M|-C|-graft-points|-path-list|pathspecs|-z|
-no-emul-boot|-b|-c|-boot-info-table|-boot-load-size|-G|...]
Perform some mkisofs gestures, understand pathspecs as mkisofs
does. Commit happens outside emulation at usual occasions.
For a list of options see -as mkisofs -help.
-read_mkisofsrc
Read and interpret the .mkisofsrc configuration file.
-as cdrecord [-help|-v|dev=|speed=|blank=|fs=|-eject|-atip|padsize=|-multi]
path|-
Perform some cdrecord gestures, eventually write at most one
data track to blank, appendable or overwriteable media.
-pacifier "xorriso"|"cdrecord"|"mkisofs"
Choose format of UPDATE pacifier during write operations.
General commands:
-help Print this text
-abort_on severity Set the threshold for events to abort the program.
Useful severities: NEVER, ABORT, FATAL, FAILURE, SORRY, WARNING
-return_with severity exit_value Set the threshold for events to return
at program end the given exit_value even if not aborted.
exit_value may be 0 or 32 to 63.
-report_about severity Set the threshold for events to be reported.
Use -abort_on severities or: HINT, NOTE, UPDATE, DEBUG, ALL
-signal_handling "on"|"off"|"sig_dfl"|"sig_ign"
Handling of signals. Default "on" uses libburn handler.
-error_behavior "image_loading"|"file_extraction" behavior
Behavior "best_effort" is most endurant but may produce
results which are correct only on the first glimpse.
-dialog "on"|"off"|"single_line"
After all program arguments are processed, enter dialog mode.
"single_line" does not support newline characters within
open quotation marks and no line continuation by trailing \.
-page len width Prompt user after len output lines (0=no prompt).
width (default 80) can adjust line number computation
to the output terminal's line width.
-use_readline "on"|"off"
Whether to use libreadline for dialog if available.
-history text Copy text into libreadline history. This command
itself is not copied to the history list.
-sh_style_result "on"|"off"
If "on" do not wrap file addresses in quotation marks with
-pwd -pwdx -ls -lsd -lsl -lsdl -lsx -lsdx -lslx -lsdlx
-du -dus -dux -dusx -findx -find
-backslash_codes "on"|"off"|
"in_double_quotes"|"in_quotes"|"with_quoted_input"
[:"with_program_arguments"][:"encode_output"]
Disable or enable interpretation of \a \b \e \f \n \r \t \v
\\ \NNN \xNN \cC in input or program arguments.
-pkt_output "on"|"off" Direct output to stdout and prefix each line
by a short header which tells channel id and a mode number.
Each such output packet is finalized by a newline.
Channel ids are 'R:' for result lines, 'I:' for notes
and error messages, 'M:' for -mark texts. Bit 0 of the
mode number tells whether the newline is also part of the
packet payload. Example of a info message with newline:
I:1: enter option text :
-pkt_output:on is intended for use by frontend programs.
-msg_op "start_sieve"|"read_sieve"|"clear_sieve"|"end_sieve"|
"parse"|"parse_silently"|"parse_bulk"|"parse_bulk_silently"|
"compare_sev"|"list_sev" param_text
Enable, use, or disable message sieve. Or parse lines into
words. Or compare or list severity names.
-named_pipes_loop mode[:mode]
disk_path_stdin disk_path_stdout disk_path_stderr
Enter an EOF resistant dialog loop at a named pipe as input
and zero, one or two named pipes as output. "-" = no pipe.
Mode "cleanup" removes pipes at loop end. "keep" does not.
Mode "buffered" reads all lines from input pipe before it
opens the output pipes. "direct" opens after first input.
-launch_frontend program [args ...] --
Start a program, connect its stdin to xorriso stdout and
stderr, connect its stdout to xorriso stdin.
Use any given parameters as arguments for the started program.
-logfile channel fileaddress Copy output of a channel to the given file.
channel may be 'R','I','M' as with -pkt_output or '.'
for the consolidated -pkt_output stream.
-mark text If text is not empty it will get put out each time a command
is completed.
-temp_mem_limit number["k"|"m"]
Set the maximum size for pattern expansion. (Default is 16m)
-prog text Use text as this program's name in subsequent messages
-prog_help text Use text as this program's name and perform -help
-status mode|filter Report the current settings of persistent commands.
Modes:
short... print only important or altered settings
long ... print settings even if they have default values
long_history like long plus -history: lines
Filters begin with '-' and are compared literally against the
output lines of -status long_history. A line is put out only
if its start matches the filter.
-status_history_max number Maximum number of history lines to be reported
with -status:long_history
-options_from_file fileaddress
Reads lines from the given file and executes them as commands.
-no_rc Only if used as first program argument, this command
prevents reading and interpretation of these startup files:
/etc/default/xorriso , /etc/opt/xorriso/rc
/etc/xorriso/xorriso.conf , $HOME/.xorrisorc
-print text
Print a text to result channel.
-print_info text
Print a text to info channel.
-print_mark text
Print a text to mark channel.
-prompt text
Wait for Enter key or for a line of input at stdin.
-sleep number
Do nothing during the given number of seconds.
-errfile_log mode path|channel
Log disk paths of files involved in problem events.
-session_log path
Set path of a file where a log record gets appended after
each session. Form: timestamp start_lba size volume-id
-scsi_log "on"|"off"
Enable or disable logging of SCSI commands to stderr.
# any text Is ignored. In dialog mode the input line will be stored in
the eventual readline history, nevertheless.
-list_extras code
Tell whether certain extra features were enabled at compile
time. Code "all" lists all features and a headline. Other
codes pick a single feature. "codes" lists the known codes.
-list_arg_sorting
Print the sorting order of xorriso commands with option -x.
-version Tell program and version number
-end End program. Commit eventual pending changes.
-rollback_end
End program. Discard pending changes.
Command -page causes a user prompt after the given number of result lines.
Empty input resumes output until the next prompt. Other input may be:
@ suppresses paging until the current action is done
@@ suppresses further result output but continues the action
@@@ aborts the current action
other aborts the current action and executes input as new command
