Libburnia is a project that develops a collection of libraries and command-line tools for burning CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray media.
Project overview
Libburnia is the name of a project to develop various pieces of disk recording software. libisofs is the library to create or modify ISO 9660 disk images. libburn is the underlying programming library. It is used by xorriso, cdrskin and 3rd party disk recording applications can also use this library directly. libisoburn is an add-on to libburn and libisofs which coordinates both and also allows to grow ISO 9660 filesystem images on multi-session and overwriteable media. xorriso is a CLI application that creates, loads, manipulates and writes ISO 9660 filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions. This package is part of the GNU Project. xorrisofs creates an ISO9660+Rock Ridge disc images from local files, optionally with a Joliet directory tree. xorrecord writes disc images to physical discs. cdrskin is the end-user application of libburnia. It is CLI-only and its syntax is mostly identical to cdrecord to act as a drop-in replacement for existing front-ends.
Uses
The underlying libburn library is used directly as sole recording back-end for Xfce's graphical Xfburn application which is included in the default installation of Xubuntu since version 10.10. GNOME's default disk recording application, Brasero, can use libburn directly without relying on cdrecord compatibility of cdrskin. FlBurn is a FLTK application that uses libburn directly. cdrskin is similar to cdrecord and wodim, and can be used in place of the aforementioned tool in GUI front-ends such as K3b.
History
The first public release (libburn-0.2.2) was in September 2006. The current stable version is 1.5.6, which was released on June 20, 2023.
