How to burn an iso image from the command line

Question

Is that possible to get an alternative to the command dd to burn an iso image including some options:

Detect the burning device , Burn an iso image and eject the CD from the command line?

Solution 1

In KDE the reference CD burning software is K3b, which is packaged in Debian as k3b.

On the command-line you'd probably use cdrkit (the main package is called wodim).

Solution 2

For basic burning, Debian has at least the following tools,

wodim -v dev=/dev/sr0 -dao /home/user/file.iso

cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr0 -dao /home/user/file.iso

xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 -dao /home/user/file.iso

I don't know if they support all the features you require. You can get more details from the Debian site.
