Parameter \fBcmd\fR tries to print the \fBxorriso\fR commands which are

Mode \fBcmd\fR tries to print the \fBxorriso\fR commands which are
necessary to produce the found boot equipment: disk identifiers,
El Torito boot images, and System Area. Disk identifiers are strings
which the booting operating system might use to find the ISO filesystem
from where it comes. Currently known is the use of volume id and
modification date.

The intended use case is modification of the filesystem by having \-indev
and \-outdev pointing to different images or drives.
The result might be insufficient, if the found equipment cannot be
produced by xorriso.

it is not guaranteed that xorriso recognizes all its insufficiencies.

Mode \fBas_mkisofs\fR tries to print the \fBxorriso \-as mkisofs\fR

The intended use case is to use the mounted filesystem as input tree
together with the printed options. In some cases (e.g. \-isohybrid\-mbr) it
might be necessary to extract data from ISO to hard disk in order to
use the hard disk files as arguments of \-as mkisofs options.

and print it to the result channel. The number is shown like "0x690fd979".
The special disk_path "\-" causes reading from standard input.
