This section describes a tutorial on how to list all files from a CD-ROM and their locations on the CD.

One interesting usage of "isoinfo" is to list all files on the CD and their locations on the CD. Here is what did on test the "isoinfo -l" command with my Dell monitor driver CD:

C:\>\local\cdrtools\isoinfo dev=0,0,0 -l | more

The output is very useful. It tells me that:

• The output format matches exactly the format of the UNIX command "ls -lR".
• The "d" in the first column indicates that the entry is a directory.
• The number before the date column is the size of the entry.
• The number enclosed in [] is the location of the entry. For example, the location of the entry "README.TXT" is sector 32841.
