libburnia is a free software library and collection of command-line interface (CLI) for burning CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray media.

Libburnia overview

Libburnia is the name of a project to develop various pieces of disk recording software.

  • libburn is the underlying programming library. It is used by xorriso, cdrskin and 3rd party disk recording applications can also use this library directly.
  • libisofs is the library to create or modify ISO 9660 disk images.
  • libisoburn is an add-on to libburn and libisofs which coordinates both and also allows to grow ISO 9660 filesystem images on multi-session and overwriteable media.
  • xorriso is a CLI application that creates, loads, manipulates and writes ISO 9660 filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions.
  • cdrskin is the end-user application of libburnia. It is CLI-only and its syntax is mostly identical to cdrecord to act as a drop-in replacement for existing front-ends.[2]

Xorriso

Xorriso stands for X/Open, Rock Ridge ISO and is the main command-line tool included with libburnia. It allows both generation and (to some extent) update of image files as well as burning images to the disk.

It provides a command-line interface for single operations as well as GNU Readline and Dialog-based interfaces.

Uses

  • The underlying libburn library is used directly as sole recording back-end for Xfce’s graphical Xfburn application[3] which is included in the default installation of Xubuntu since version 10.10.[4]
  • GNOME's default disk recording application, Brasero, can use libburn directly without relying on cdrecord compatibility of cdrskin.[5]
  • FlBurn is a FLTK application that uses libburn directly.[6]
  • cdrskin is similar to cdrecord and wodim, and can be used in place of the aforementioned tool in GUI front-ends such as K3b.[7]
