ISO9660(4) BSD Programmer's Manual ISO9660(4)
NAME
iso9660 - CD-ROM file system
SYNOPSIS
mount -t iso9660 [-o -n] special node
DESCRIPTION
The iso9660 file system is an implementation of ISO-9660 : 1988 (E), lev-
el 2 (and also the level 1 subset), plus the Rock Ridge extensions ver-
sion 1.09.
This file system only supports read-only mounts, so the read-only flag to
mount is implied and need not be given. The Rock Ridge extensions are
enabled automatically when the necessary information is present on the
volume.
If the file system volume does not contain Rock Ridge information, the
raw ISO-9660 file names are translated to lower case, truncated at the
semicolon, and trailing dots are removed.
The file system specific option -n disables the Rock Ridge extensions and
all file name translations.
Normally, a CD-ROM will not have a disk label, so you should use the raw
partition, for example, /dev/sd1c.
HISTORY
The iso9660 file system first appeared in BSDI.
