About:
Libisofs is a comprehensive C library designed for creating and manipulating ISO-9660 filesystem images. It supports Rock Ridge extensions for POSIX file semantics and Joliet for Windows compatibility. The library allows for the creation of bootable ISO images and is widely used in applications requiring reliable optical media authoring.
Key Features:
  • Supports Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions
  • Creates bootable ISO images (El Torito)
  • High-performance C library with POSIX API
  • Supports Zisofs compression for efficient archiving
Use Cases:
  • Developing custom CD/DVD burning software
  • Generating bootable installation media for Linux distributions
  • Creating cross-platform data archives
Alternatives:
  • xorriso – xorriso is a frontend that uses libisofs internally but also offers command-line ISO manipulation and burning capabilities.
  • genisoimage – genisoimage is an older tool for ISO creation; libisofs offers a more modern, modular library approach for programmatic integration.
