About:
Libudfread is a lightweight, standalone C library designed to parse and read data from UDF (Universal Disk Format) filesystems. It provides a simple API for accessing files and directories within UDF images without requiring kernel-level support. Its main value proposition is enabling multimedia applications to seamlessly access content from optical media like Blu-ray discs.

Key Features:

Standalone C library with no external dependencies
Simple API for reading files and directories from UDF images
Supports UDF versions 1.02 through 2.60
Designed for embedded systems and multimedia applications

Use Cases:

Reading Blu-ray disc structures in media player applications
Parsing UDF filesystem images in embedded environments
Implementing UDF support in custom data recovery tools

Alternatives:

libcdio – Libcdio is a larger library with broader optical media support, while libudfread is a focused, lightweight UDF-only solution.
