files given and structured by options -b, -e, -el-torito-alt-boot,
and @minus{}@minus{}efi-boot. Often it contains only one entry.
@*
Normally the boot images are data files inside the ISO filesystem. By
special path "--interval:appended_partition_NNN:all::" it is possible to
refer to an appended partition. The number NNN gives the partition number
as used with the corresponding option -append_partition.
E.g.:
@*
-append_partition 2 0xef /tmp/efi.img
@*
-e --interval:appended_partition_2:all::

El Torito gets interpreted by boot facilities PC-BIOS and EFI.
Most bootable GNU/Linux CDs are equipped with ISOLINUX or GRUB boot images
for PC-BIOS.

"imported_iso" demands to read from the -indev. This works only if -outdev
is not the same as -indev. The Source component is ignored.
@*
"appended_partition_NNN" with a decimal number NNN works only for options
which announce El Torito boot image paths: -b, -e, --efi-boot. The number gives
the partition number as used with the corresponding option -append_partition.
@*
The component Interval consists of two byte address numbers separated by a "-" character. E.g. "0-429" means to read bytes 0 to 429.
@*
The component Zeroizers consists of zero or more comma separated strings.
