NAME
     isosize - output the length of an iso9660 filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     isosize [options] iso9660_image_file

DESCRIPTION
     This  command outputs the length of an iso9660 filesystem that is contained
     in the specified file. This file may be a normal file  or	a  block  device
     (e.g. /dev/hdd or /dev/sr0). In the absence of any options (and errors), it
     will  output the size of the iso9660 filesystem in bytes. This can now be a
     large number (>> 4 GB).

OPTIONS
     -x, --sectors
	 Show the block count and block size in human-readable form. The  output
	 uses the term "sectors" for "blocks".

     -d, --divisor number
	 Only has an effect when -x is not given. The value shown (if no errors)
	 is  the  iso9660  file size in bytes divided by number. So if number is
	 the block size then the shown value will be the block count.

	 The size of the file (or block device) holding  an  iso9660  filesystem
	 can  be  marginally larger than the actual size of the iso9660 filesys-
	 tem. One reason for this is that cd writers are  allowed  to  add  "run
	 out" sectors at the end of an iso9660 image.

     -h, --help
	 Display help text and exit.

     -V, --version
	 Display version and exit.

EXIT STATUS
     0
	 success

     1
	 generic failure, such as invalid usage

     32
	 all failed

     64
	 some failed
