Its main reason of being is that it reads the number of data blocks
from the ISO image and thus can truncate the data stream at the
end of the image when reading it from optical media.

Trailing garbage is impossible to avoid with TAO recorded CD,
incremental recorded DVD-R[W], formatted DVD-RW, DVD+RW, BD-RE,
and also with USB sticks.
It often sneaks into the more exactly recording media as end padding
of burn programs (my own ones among them).

The script uses only traditional shell means and takes advantage
of the fact that ISO 9660 images bear their size in both byte sexes.


Have a nice day :)
