Full read-write operation is possible with regular files and block devices:

Other writeable file types are supported write-only:

Among the write-only drives is standard output:

<DT>ISO images may not only be stored on optical media but also in
regular disk files or block devices for full multi-session operation.
The prefix &quot;stdio:&quot; indicates that normal file operations are
