isoinfo - ISO 9660 Command Line Tools
This section describes a tutorial on how to get summary information of a CD-ROM with 'isoinfo' tool.
One of the tools included in the cdrtools package is called "isoinfo", which is a great tool to perform analysis an ISO 9660 file system on a CD-ROM. "isoinfo" supports the following options:
C:\>\local\cdrtools\isoinfo -help /cygdrive/c/local/cdrtools/isoinfo: Usage: /cygdrive/c/local/cdrtools/isoinfo [options] -i filename Options: -help,-h Print this help -version Print version info and exit -debug Print additional debug info -d Print information from the primary volume descriptor -f Generate output similar to 'find . -print' -J Print information from Joliet extensions -j charset Use charset to display Joliet file names -l Generate output similar to 'ls -lR' -p Print Path Table -R Print information from Rock Ridge extensions -s Print file size infos in multiples of sector size -N sector Sector number where ISO image should start on CD -T sector Sector number where actual session starts on CD -i filename Filename to read ISO-9660 image from dev=target SCSI target to use as CD/DVD-Recorder -x pathname Extract specified file to stdout
I tried to use "isoinfo" to display information from the primary volume descriptor on a CD contains device drivers for a Dell monitor
C:\>\local\cdrtools\isoinfo dev=0,0,0 -d CD-ROM is in ISO 9660 format System id: Volume id: ____ Volume set id: Publisher id: Data preparer id: Application id: NERO - BURNING ROM Copyright File id: Abstract File id: Bibliographic File id: Volume set size is: 1 Volume set sequence number is: 1 Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 33034 Joliet with UCS level 3 found NO Rock Ridge present
