(not supported by pycdlib-genisoimage) This options allows lowercase characters to appear in ISO9660 filenames. This violates the ISO9660 standard, but it happens to work on many systems. Usually, a leading dot is replaced with an underscore in order to maintain MS-DOS compatibility. (not supported by pycdlib-genisoimage) Allow ISO9660 filenames to begin with a period. The result is an inconsistent filesystem and users need to make sure that they really use UDF rather than ISO9660 driver to read a such disk.

(not supported by pycdlib-genisoimage) When processing files larger than 2GiB which cannot be easily represented in ISO9660, add them with a shrunk visible file size to ISO9660 and with the correct visible file size to the UDF system. This should describe the application that will be on the disc. Specifies a text string that will be written into the volume header. In almost all cases this does not matter, but please keep it in mind when using this program instead of genisoimage. This is for a variety of reasons, ranging from bug fixing to simple differences in implementations. Third, pycdlib-genisoimage will not always generate ISOs that are 100% the same as the genisoimage counterparts.

Any program that relies on parsing the output of genisoimage will probably not work. Second, pycdlib-genisoimage does not output all of the same messages to standard out/standard error that genisoimage does. In some cases these flags can be implemented with a bit of work, and in some cases the flags can never be implemented due to the design of pycdlib. The flags that this applies to are noted in the Options below. However, if you are trying to do something odd and specific, it may not work. This means that pycdlib-genisoimage will silently ignore some flags for the most common usage of this program, this will not matter.

First, not all of the options are implemented in this program. There are a few differences to note between this program and the original genisoimage. Please see the man page for genisoimage for more detailed explanation of the options to this program. It is meant to be 100% flag-compatible with the original genisoimage program so that it can be dropped into existing scripts with no changes. Pycdlib-genisoimage is a pre-mastering program to generate ISO9660/Joliet/HFS hybrid filesystems. Tool to master ISOs using pycdlib Synopsis
