READISO(1) READISO(1) NAME readiso - reads ISO9660 and other format cd-roms into image files SYNOPSIS readiso [ options ] [ imagename ] DESCRIPTION readiso is used to generate image file from the cd-rom. Produced image file does not contain any extra headers, so it's ready to be writen back to blank disc using some writing software (like cdwrite). In Linux it's also possi- ble to mount the image file (eg. mount -t iso9960 -o loop,ro /foo/myimage.cd /mnt) NOTE! Current version is also able to dump non ISO9660 cd's to image file, it's also possible to copy audio tracks into AIFF (AIFF-C) files. OPTIONS Options may be either the traditional POSIX one letter options, or the GNU style long options. POSIX style options start with a single ``-'', while GNU long options start with ``--''. Options offered by readiso are the following: -d, --device= Specifies the scsi device to use (instead of the default device, which is specified during the compi- lation) -h, --help Displays short usage information and exits. -i, --info Display only the disc TOC record and information about the ISO9660 image (no need to specify image file when using this option). -m, --md5 Calculate also MD5 checksum for imagefile (uses RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm). -M, --MD5 Calculate MD5 checksum of disc (without creating the imagefile). -v, --verbose Enables verbose mode (positively chatty). 24 Jul 1998 1 READISO(1) READISO(1) --dump= Dump (copy) n sectors from cd, starting from lba. --force= Force program to trust blindly either ISO primary descriptor or TOC record for the size of image. Mode can be one of the following: 1 trust ISO primary descriptor 2 trust disc's TOC record. Normally, if program thinks that ISO primary descpritor has suspicious (too small) value for vol- ume size, it uses automagically TOC record to deter- mine the actual size of the image. --track= Reads specified track (default is to read first data track found). --dumpaudio= Dump raw audio sectors with subcode-q data (2352 + 16 bytes). --aiff Select AIFF as output file format for audio tracks. --aiffc Select AIFF-C as output file format for audio tracks. BUGS Dumping of audio tracks works only with TOSHIBA drives.
