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.^[1]

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^[2] which is included in the default installation of Xubuntu since version 10.10.^[3]
GNOME's default disk recording application, Brasero, can use libburn directly without relying on cdrecord compatibility of cdrskin.^[4]
FlBurn is a FLTK application that uses libburn directly.^[5]
cdrskin is similar to cdrecord and wodim, and can be used in place of the aforementioned tool in GUI front-ends such as K3b.^[6]

History

The first public release of libburnia, libburn-0.2.2, was in September 2006. The current version is 1.4.2, which was released in November 2015.
