@section intro Introduction
|
|
|
|
Libburnia is an open-source project for reading, mastering and writing
|
|
optical discs. 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, or OpenSolaris.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
The xorriso features are accessible via built-in command interpreters and
|
|
via a C language API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 library and the xorriso application accessible for running resp.
|
|
software development:
|
|
|
|
- make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
For direct use as command line tool use the xorriso binary which among many
|
|
other features provides a mkisofs emulation via command "-as mkisofs".
|
|
See man page xorriso/xorriso.1 or GNU info document xorriso/xorriso.info.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to link an own application with libisoburn, you have
|
|
two alternative APIs for choice:
|
|
|
|
- libisoburn, together with libburn and libisofs.
|
|
|
|
- xorriso, a complete representation of xorriso command line options.
|
|
It encapsulates the three lower level libraries.
|
|
Calls of both API families shall not be mixed.
|
|
|
|
For a description of the lbisoburn API read libisoburn/libisoburn.h
|
|
See file README for download and installation of a release tarball.
|
|
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 .
|
|
|
|
For xorriso features see its man page xorriso/xorriso.1 or
|
|
its GNU info document xorriso/xorriso.info.
|
|
For the corresponding C language API see libisoburn/xorriso.h (resp.
|
|
xorriso/xorriso.h in the build directory).
|
|
The implementation this API is part of libisoburn.
|
|
The xorriso command line tool gets installed as dynamically linked
|
|
binary together with libisoburn.
|
|
|
|
There is also a statically linked release named GNU xorriso.
|
|
See xorriso/README_gnu_xorriso for its download and installation.
