Allow the test for ISO9660 filesystems to be applied to non-CD devices and plain file images too. If no TOC can be read, a single track is assumed which spans the whole thing. The disklabel will be updated if supported by the device. If not, just the ISO volume label information will be printed.

scans the CD's TOC, beginning with the last track.
For each data track where an ISO9660 filesystem is identified,
basic information (volume label, creation date) is printed and
a partition entry added to the in-core disklabel.

The raw partition (typically partition

but
.Em d
on i386 and some other platforms) is left alone during this process.
Allow the test for ISO9660 filesystems to be applied to non-CD devices and plain file images too. If no TOC can be read, a single track is assumed which spans the whole thing. The disklabel will be updated if supported by the device. If not, just the ISO volume label information will be printed.

The
.Nm
utility can also be used on files or non-CD devices.
In this case a single track is assumed.
If the device supports disk labels, a label will be written
as described above. Otherwise, just the ISO volume label
information will be printed.
