|
||||
xorriso is a program which maps file objects from POSIX compliant
|
||||
filesystems into Rock Ridge enhanced ISO 9660 filesystems and allows
|
||||
session-wise manipulation of such filesystems. It can load the management
|
||||
information of existing ISO images and it writes the session results to
|
||||
optical media or to filesystem objects.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently it is only supported on Linux with kernels >= 2.4.
|
||||
|
||||
A special property of xorriso is that it needs neither an external ISO 9660
|
||||
formatter program nor an external burn program for CD or DVD but rather
|
||||
incorporates the libraries of libburnia-project.org .
|
||||

|

|
||||
Compilation, First Glimpse, Installation
|
||||
|
||||
The most simple way to get xorriso is the xorriso standalone tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
Prerequisites:
|
||||
The tarball contains anything that is needed except libc and libpthread.
|
||||
libreadline and the libreadline-development headers will make dialog mode
|
||||
more convenient but are not mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
Obtain xorriso-0.1.0.tar.gz, take it to a directory of your choice and do:
|
||||
|
||||
tar xzf xorriso-0.1.0.tar.gz
|
||||
cd xorriso-0.1.0
|
||||
|
||||
Within that directory execute:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
This will produce a binary named
|
||||
./xorriso/xorriso
|
||||
|
||||
You may copy or move it to a directory where it can be found by the shell,
|
||||
you may execute xorriso at the place where it was built, or you may execute
|
||||
as superuser:
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
There is a man page
|
||||
xorriso/xorriso.1
|
||||
which gets installed with "make install" but may also be place manually in the
|
||||
./man1 directory below the directories mentioned in environment variablei
|
||||
$MANPATH.
|
||||
You may get a first glimpse by
|
||||
man ./xorriso/xorriso.1
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Drives and Disk File Objects
|
||||
|
||||
The user of xorriso needs rw-permission for the CD burner device.
|
||||
A list of rw-accessible drives can be obtained by
|
||||
|
||||
xorriso -devices
|
||||
|
||||
CD devices which offer no rw-permission are invisible to normal users.
|
||||
The superuser should be able to see any usable drive and then set the
|
||||
permissions as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
The output of xorriso -devices might look like
|
||||
|
||||
0 -dev '/dev/sr0' rwrw-- : 'TSSTcorp' 'CDDVDW SH-S203B'
|
||||
1 -dev '/dev/hda' rwrw-- : 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVD-ROM GDR8162B'
|
||||
|
||||
So full and insecure enabling of both for everybody would look like
|
||||
chmod a+rw /dev/sr0 /dev/hda
|
||||
This is equivalent to the traditional setup chmod a+x,u+s cdrecord.
|
||||
|
||||
I strongly discourage to run xorriso with setuid root or via sudo !
|
||||
It is not checked for the necessary degree of hacker safety.
|
||||
|
||||
Consider to put all authorized users into group "floppy", to chgrp the
|
||||
device file to that group and to disallow w-access to others.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Besides true optical drives, xorriso can also address disk files as input or
|
||||
output drives. The addresses of the disk files have to be preceded by "stdio:".
|
||||
Like:
|
||||
xorriso -dev stdio:/tmp/pseudo_drive ...more arguments...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
