mkiso - construct an ISO9660 CD image for burning a data CD
mkiso [-l label] [-o image.iso] directory
mkiso embodies my usual incantation for constructing an ISO9660 image for a CDROM. It is partner to mkcd(1cs), a program to burn data CDs. mkiso makes plain vanilla data CDs, not bootable or audio CDs.
The default Volume identifier for the image is normally taken from the file LABEL in the top of the directory. (This is because I like my data sets self describing, an having such a file is the simplest method not needing any metadata). Alternatively you may supply the Volume Identifier on the command line with this option.
Specify the location of the resulting ISO9660 image. By default this is a file in the current directory called basename.iso, where basename is the basename of the directory named on the command line.
The PUBL (publisher) and PREP (preparer) values
come from the $HOME/.mkisofsrc file.
See mkisofs(1) for more information.
mkcd(1cs), mkisofs(1), cdrecord(1)
mkiso is really just a wrapper for the mkisofs(1) command
