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 . + +*/
