NAME¶

ebiso - UEFI bootable ISO image creator

SYNPOSIS¶

ebiso -e FILE -o FILE [-R] WORK_DIR

ebiso -h

ebiso -v

DESCRIPTION¶

ebiso was created to help ReaR (Relax-and-Recover) with creating of UEFI bootable ISO images.
If used separately there might be currently a few limitations which might cause problems (see LIMITATIONS).

OPTIONS¶

-e, --efi-boot=FILE

Specify location of virtual boot image, which contains files needed for successful Linux boot (e. g. initrd, kernel ...). FILE must be part of created ISO image and its position must be relative to WORK_DIR. (see EXAMPLES)

-o, --output=FILE

Location where final ISO image should be created. IF FILE already exists, it will be truncated.

-R, --rock-ridge

Use features of Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol (RRIP) (e. g. file names up to 255 characters, timestamps, POSIX file attributes).
WARNING: Not all RRIP features are implemented yet. (see LIMITATIONS)

-h, --help

Shows help screen.

-v, --version

Shows version.

EXAMPLES¶

Create UEFI bootable ISO file with centos.img as virtual image and stored in /tmp and use RRIP:

Same as above example but 8.3 file name naming convention will be used:

LIMITATIONS¶

Currently not all RRIP features are implemented. Things there are missing but are planned to be added in the future are:
- Deeper directory hierarchy (more than 8 levels)
- Correct handling of symbolic links
- Sparse file data
