This is a pathspec, not a path. It will work, but it will not do what you
expect. It will ignore files and directories that do not have a dot in
the name.

Yes

OK. However, this has nothing specific to do with mkisofs. The standard
method will work.

Right. You need to supply this.

Relative means without drive or leading slash.

This is better for our uses.

It's in the docs and, hopefully, I given you sufficient alternative
explanations so that you now understand the docs.

Because it's implied for Joliett.

It was in your example. Drop it. Now that you mention it, I'm not sure
why you put it there.

A glob is similar to a wildcard. You can think of them as the same thing.

There is. The ISO filename may be specified with a full pathname or
relative to the current directory. This is not different than how you
might specify any filename on your hard drive.

> ??? I am not aware that I want to add anything to the

Everything you add is adding the the ISO9660 filesystem. That's what an
ISO is.

That's why I added m:/ to the command.

No. Joliett implies this.

Sure.

Have fun.
