@section intro Introduction
Libburnia is an open-source project for reading, mastering and writing
optical discs. This page is about its capability to read, manipulate, and
write ISO 9660 filesystems with Rock Ridge extensions. Media can be optical
media or filesystem objects.
Our scope is currently Linux 2.4 and 2.6, or FreeBSD .
libisoburn is an add-on to libburn and libisofs which coordinates both and
also allows to grow ISO-9660 filesystem images on multi-session media as well
as on overwriteable media via the same API.
All media peculiarities are handled automatically.
xorriso is an application of all three libraries which creates, loads,
manipulates and writes ISO 9660 filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions.
Manipulation is not only adding or overwriting of files but also deletion,
renaming, and attribute changing. An incremental backup feature is provided.
See xorriso/README for more
SONAME:
libisoburn.so.1 (since 0.1.0, February 2008).
@section using Using the libraries
Our build system is based on autotools.
User experience tells us that you will need at least autotools version 1.7.
To build libisoburn go into its toplevel directory and execute
- ./bootstrap (needed if you downloaded from SVN)
- ./configure
- make
To make the libraries accessible for running resp. developing applications
- make install
Read libisoburn/libisoburn.h for a description of the API.
See also README, xorriso/README, and the man page xorriso/xorriso.1 which
gives an idea of the capabilities provided by Libburnia.
You will also have to install and understand the two libraries of the
Libburnia project which provide fundamental services:
libburn is the library by which preformatted data get onto optical media.
See libburn/libburn.h for its API description.
libisofs is the library to handle ISO 9660 filesystems with Rock Ridge
extensions. Its API is described in libisofs/libisofs.h .
