NAME

tix-iso-add — add directory to .iso filesystem

SYNOPSIS

tix-iso-add

[-o output-file] input-file input-directory

DESCRIPTION

tix-iso-add adds the contents of the input-directory directory to the .iso filesystem at input-file, while keeping the .iso bootable after the modification. xorriso(1) must be installed in order to use this script. This script is designed to be convenient when modifying a Sortix release .iso as part of the release-iso-modification(7) procedure. The user is free to take all its actions themselves if it doesn't meet their needs. The options are as follows:

-o output-file, --output output-file

Write the modified input-file to output-file instead of modifying input-file in place. This path must not be the same as the input-file.

This script works by invoking the xorriso(1) program and essentially boils down to:

xorriso \ 
  -indev "$input_file" \ 
  -outdev "$output_file" \ 
  -boot_image grub keep \ 
  -pathspecs on \ 
  -add \ 
  ="$input_directory"

EXIT STATUS

tix-iso-add will exit 0 on success and non-zero otherwise. On error, the input file is left alone.

EXAMPLES

To add some files and directories to an .iso filesystem, one can run:

mkdir directory 
mkdir directory/foo 
mkdir directory/foo/bar 
echo qux > directory/foo/bar/qux 
echo spam > directory/foo/bar/spam 
tix-iso-add sortix.iso directory

To save the modified iso elsewhere, one can run:

tix-iso-add -o sortix-modified.iso sortix.iso directory
