    IsoBuster recovers data from damaged CDs, K3b authors new CDs. These are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT tasks.

    xorriso itself is entirely controlled by text commands.In dialog mode, xorriso reads them as text lines from standard input. Together with some helpful xorriso commands,it is quite easy for frontend programs to operate a separate xorriso process.
