A program argument is handled as a \fBpathspec\fR, if it is not
recognized as original mkisofs option or additional xorrisofs option.
A pathspec depicts an input file object by a disk_path.
If option -graft-points is not present, then this file object gets
copied into the /-directory of the ISO image.
If option -graft-points is not present, then the behavior depends on the
file type of disk_path. Directories get merged with the /-directory of the
ISO image. Files of other types get copied into the /-directory.

If -graft-points is present then each pathspec gets split at the first
occurence of the =-character.

In case that target already exists, the following rules apply:
Directories and other files may overwrite existing non-directories.
