    What is xorriso?

    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.

    Other than the usual batch programs, xorriso will take care of maintaining the emerging ISO image model.Its state can be inquired by the frontend at any time. The frontend is supposed to care for the display of the inquired xorriso state and to send xorriso commands to manipulate the ISO image model.
