isosize

The isosize command line tool is used to determine the size of an ISO 9660 file system image. It is a part of the isomd5sum package, which provides utilities for working with ISO images. The tool can be run on Linux systems, and is commonly used for verifying the integrity and size of ISO images, ensuring they meet the required specifications. The isosize command reads an ISO image file and outputs its size in bytes or blocks, depending on the option specified. By default, the tool displays the size in bytes, but the -k option can be used to obtain the size in kilobytes. Additionally, the -d option can be used to obtain the size in blocks with information about block size. The tool does not modify the ISO image in any way, making it safe to use for checking the size without affecting the integrity of the file. isosize utilizes a combination of system calls and file system information to determine the size of the ISO image accurately. It provides a convenient way to extract size information quickly and effectively, allowing users to verify the correctness of ISO images for a variety of purposes. Overall, isosize is a valuable command line tool for Linux users who regularly work with ISO images, providing an efficient means to determine their size and ensure their integrity.
