libisoburn is a frontend for libraries libburn and libisofs which enables

creation and expansion of ISO-9660 filesystems on all CD/DVD media supported

by libburn. This includes media like DVD+RW, which do not support multi-session

The price for that is thorough specialization on data files in ISO-9660

filesystem images. So libisoburn is not suitable for audio (CD-DA) or any

The priciple of this frontend is that you may use any call of libisofs or

libburn unless it has a isoburn_*() wrapper listed in the following function

E.g. call isoburn_initialize() rather than iso_init(); burn_initialize()

and call isoburn_drive_scan_and_grab() rather than burn_drive_scan_and_grab().
|

But you may call burn_disc_get_profile() directly if you want to display

the media type.

The usage model is like with libburn: the target is a "media" in a "drive".

The wrappers will transparently provide the necessary emulations which

are appropriate for particular target "drives".
