NAME         top

       isosize - output the length of an iso9660 filesystem

SYNOPSIS         top

       isosize [options] iso9660_image_file

DESCRIPTION         top

       This command outputs the length of an iso9660 filesystem that is
       contained in the specified file.  This file may be a normal file or a
       block device (e.g. /dev/hdd or /dev/sr0).  In the absence of any
       options (and errors), it will output the size of the iso9660
       filesystem in bytes.  This can now be a large number (>> 4 GB).

OPTIONS         top

       -x, --sectors
              Show the block count and block size in human-readable form.
              The output uses the term "sectors" for "blocks".
       -d, --divisor number
              Only has an effect when -x is not given.  The value shown (if
              no errors) is the iso9660 file size in bytes divided by
              number.  So if number is the block size then the shown value
              will be the block count.
       The size of the file (or block device) holding an iso9660 filesystem
       can be marginally larger than the actual size of the iso9660
       filesystem.  One reason for this is that cd writers are allowed to
       add "run out" sectors at the end of an iso9660 image.
