Required for creating a CDExtra or a second or higher-level session for a multisession CD. last-start is the first sector number in the last session on the disk, and next-start is the first sector number for the new session. Use the command:

cdrecord -msinfo

to get the values. Use -C with -M to create an image that is a continuation of the previous session; without -M, create an image for a second session on a CDExtra (a multisession CD with audio data in the first session and an ISO9660 filesystem image in the second).

Cache [do not cache] inode and device numbers to find hard links to files. The default on Linux is to cache. Use -no-cache-inodes for filesystems that do not have unique inode numbers.

Check all filenames imported from old sessions for mkisofs compliance with ISO9660 file-naming rules. If not specified, check only those files with names longer than 31 characters.

-M file -C 0,0 -check-oldnames

where file is the pathname or SCSI device specifier that would be specified with -M.

Specify a file containing a list of globs that are to be hidden with -hidden.

Find paths or files that match the shell-style pattern glob and hide them from being seen on the ISO9660 or Rock Ridge directory. The files are still included in the image file. If the pattern matches a directory, the contents of the directory are hidden. To match a directory, the path must not end with a trailing /. Use with the -hide-joliet option.

Hide paths or files that match the shell-style pattern glob so they will not be seen in the Joliet directory. If the pattern matches a directory, the contents of the directory are hidden. To match a directory, the path must not end with a trailing /. Should be used with -hide.

Specify a file containing a list of globs to be hidden with -hide-joliet.

Hide the TRANS.TBL files from the Joliet tree.

Specify a file containing a list of globs to be hidden with -hide.

Specify a text string of up to 128 characters describing the publisher of the CD to be written to the volume header. Overrides a PUBL= parameter set in .mkisofsrc.

Pad [do not pad] the ISO9660 filesystem by 16 sectors (32 KB). If the resulting size is not a multiple of 16 sectors, add sectors until it is. The default is -pad.

Specify a file that contains a list of pathspec directories and filenames to add to the ISO9660 filesystem. Note that at least one pathspec must be given on the command line.

Print estimated filesystem size and exit.

Run in quiet mode; do not display progress output.

Like -R, but set UID and GID to zero, set all file read bits to write, and turn off all file write bits. If any execute bit is set for a file, set all execute bits; if any search bit is set for a directory, set all search bits; if any special mode bits are set, clear them.

Generate SUSP (System Use Sharing Protocol) and Rock Ridge records using the Rock Ridge protocol.

Allow ISO9660 filenames to include seven-digit ASCII characters except lowercase characters. Violates the ISO9660 standard.

Use the HFS filename as the starting point for the ISO9660, Joliet, and Rock Ridge filenames.

Use the specified magic file to set a file's creator and type information based on the file's magic number, which is usually the first few bytes of the file. The magic file contains entries consisting of four tab-separated columns specifying the byte offset, type, test, and a message.

Use the specified mapping file to set a file's creator and type information based on the filename extension. Only files that are not known Apple or Unix file types need to be mapped. The mapping file consists of five-column entries specifying the extension, file translation, creator, type, and a comment. Creator and type are both four-letter strings.
