GENISOIMAGERC(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual GENISOIMAGERC(5)

genisoimagerc - startup configuration file for genisoimage

genisoimage(1) searches for a configuration file in several places; it uses the first one it is able to open. First, if the GENISOIMAGERC environment variable is set, its value is used as the filename; likewise for the MKISOFSRC environment variable. Next, genisoimage looks for files named .genisoimagerc or .mkisofsrc, first in the current working directory, then in the user's home directory. Next, it looks for /etc/genisoimagerc. Finally, it looks for a .genisoimagerc in the same directory as genisoimage itself is stored.

The .genisoimagerc file contains lines of the form

TAG=value

where TAG is one of the settings defined below. The case of the tag is not significant. All settings have command-line equivalents; if the command-line parameter is specified, it takes priority over the configuration file.

Blank lines and lines beginning with `#' are ignored.

ABST
The abstract information, typically the name of a file on the disc containing an abstract. There is space for 37 characters. Equivalent to the -abstract command-line option.
APPI
The application identifier should describe the application that will be on the disc. There is space for 128 characters. Equivalent to the -A command-line option.
BIBL
The bibliographic information, often the name of a file on the disc containing a bibliography. There is space for 37 characters. Equivalent to the -biblio command-line option.
COPY
The copyright information, typically the name of a file on the disc containing the copyright notice. There is space for 37 characters. Equivalent to the -copyright command-line option.
HFS_TYPE
The default TYPE for Macintosh files. Must be exactly 4 characters. Equivalent to the -hfs-type command-line option. The default value is TEXT.
HFS_CREATOR
The default CREATOR for Macintosh files. Must be exactly 4 characters. Equivalent to the -hfs-creator command-line option. The default value is Unix.
PREP
This should describe the preparer of the CD-ROM, usually with a mailing address and phone number. There is space for 128 characters. Equivalent to the -p command-line option.
PUBL
This should describe the publisher of the CD-ROM, usually with a mailing address and phone number. There is space for 128 characters. Equivalent to the -publisher command-line option.
SYSI
The System Identifier. There is space for 32 characters. Equivalent to the -sysid command-line option.
VOLI
The Volume Identifier. There is space for 32 characters. Equivalent to the -V command-line option.
VOLS
The Volume Set Name. There is space for 128 characters. Equivalent to the -volset command-line option.

genisoimage can also be configured at compile time with defaults for many of these fields. See the file defaults.h.

The following file
COPY=src/COPYING
SYSI=Multics 75
    

is equivalent to the genisoimage command-line parameters

-copyright src/COPYING -sysid "Multics 75"

genisoimage(1).
