✨ FUSEISO — the manual, but make it slay ✨

okay bestie so this is the manual page for fuseiso, from section 1 of the General Commands Manual. she's a mount-ISO-filesystems kinda girl and she's about to explain herself, so let's get into it 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

fuseiso — a FUSE module that mounts ISO filesystem images. yes that's it. that's the whole name section. iconic brevity honestly. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fuseiso [-npch] [FUSE library options] <ISO image> <mount point>

fuseiso [-npch] <ISO image> <mount point> [FUSE library options]

like, the FUSE library options can go either before or after the image and mount point. she's flexible like that 🦋

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so FUSE is that girl — she lets you build a fully functional filesystem inside a userspace program. main character energy fr. ✨

fuseiso provides a module that mounts ISO filesystem images using FUSE.

she can read ISO, BIN and NRG images that contain ISO9660 filesystems. and not just the basics — she also supports some common extensions, specifically Joliet, RockRidge and zisofs. obsessed. 😌

she also handles non-standard images, like CloneCD's IMGs and Alcohol 120%'s MDFs — because their format looks exactly like BIN images. it's giving "same vibe, different name" honestly.

💀 but listen — one major limitation of BIN images: fuseiso does not handle CUE files in any way whatsoever. so she can only work with the first track of those images. no cap, that's just how it is.

and as for other formats — CCD, ISZ and MDS — nope, not supported. why? because their format is not public and literally no one knows it. not us. not you. not anyone. it's a mystery and she's not solving it 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -n — do not maintain ~/.mtab.fuseiso. like, leave that file alone.
  • -p — maintain the mount point: create it if it doesn't exist, and delete it when she exits. she cleans up after herself, periodt 🧹
  • -c iocharset — specify the iocharset for Joliet filesystems. defaults to UTF-8. run iconv --list if you wanna see a list of known character sets.
  • -h — print the help screen and exit. short, sweet, helpful 🫶

🌈 FUSE library options 🌈

  • -o opts — use the specified mount options. the opts argument is a comma-separated list. for available options, refer to mount(8), chapter FILESYSTEM-INDEPENDENT_MOUNT_OPTIONS, and mount.fuse(8), chapter OPTIONS. (yes, go read those, she's sending you links in the group chat)
  • -s — run single-threaded.
  • -f — run in the foreground, do not daemonize.
  • -d — run in the foreground and print debug information. she's being loud on purpose, let her cook 🍓
  • -V — print the libfuse version information and exit.
