drutil: Burn a directory as an ISO9660 filesystem onto a DVD. Don't verify and eject when complete.
$ drutil burn -noverify -eject -iso9660
try on your machine

The command "drutil burn -noverify -eject -iso9660" is a command-line instruction for controlling the burning of a disc using the "drutil" utility on macOS. Let's break down the various options and what they do:

  1. "burn" - specifies that we want to perform a disc burning operation using "drutil".

  2. "-noverify" - optional flag that tells the burn process not to verify the written data. This can speed up the burning process, but there is a risk of data corruption if the burn fails.

  3. "-eject" - optional flag that instructs "drutil" to eject the disc automatically after the burning process is complete.

  4. "-iso9660" - optional flag that specifies the file system format for the disc. "ISO 9660" is a standard file system format commonly used for CD-ROMs.

So, when you execute the command "drutil burn -noverify -eject -iso9660", it will initiate a disc burning process using "drutil" without data verification, eject the disc once burning is done, and use the ISO 9660 file system format.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
