xorriso under control of a (GUI) frontend process
The dialog mode allows frontend programs to connect via pipes to the standard
input and output of xorriso. Several commands of xorriso help with receiving
and parsing of reply messages.
As a proof of concept, there is the Tcl/Tk script xorriso-tcltk which can
be launched by this shell command:
xorriso -launch_frontend $(which xorriso-tcltk) --stdio --
See file frontend/README-tcltk for a description of its GUI.
See its Tcl code for getting an idea how this gets achieved.
Further there is the C program frontend/frontend_pipes_xorriso.c which
forks a xorriso process and shows the same communication gestures as
