ISOINFO(8) ISOINFO(8)
NAME
devdump, isoinfo, isovfy, isodump - Utility programs for
dumping and verifying iso9660 images.
[...]
isovfy is a utility to verify the integrity of an iso9660
image. Most of the tests in isovfy were added after bugs
were discovered in early versions of mkisofs. It isn't
all that clear how useful this is anymore, but it doesn't
hurt to have this around.
These things are in the `mkisofs' package.
