REMARKS
Maximum length of PATH (and FILE) about 510 chars
All (greyed-out) hex-offsets zero based (ECMA-119 starts at 1, so read '+1')
ISO-9660 and UDF tested up to 8GB-DVD, UDF up to 465GB-Partition (on Hard Disk)
On ISO-9660 big-endian values are read-out but only showed if exist and not equal to little-endian value
EXAMPLES
ISOINFO.G4B (hd0,0)/filename.iso
ISOINFO.G4B --ISOPVD (0xe0)
ISOINFO.G4B --UDFVDS (0xe0)
ISOINFO.G4B --RECORD=FILENAME.EXT;1 (0xe0)
ISOINFO.G4B --RECORD2=boot.catalog (0xe0)
ISOINFO.G4B --DIR2=SUBDIR/bo*.c* (0xe0)
ISOINFO.G4B --UDFRECORD=System\ Volume\ Information (hd0,0)/some.iso
ISOINFO.G4B --UDFDIR="System Volume Information/" (hd0,0)/some.iso
ISOINFO.G4B --RECORD=/.. (hd0,0)/some.isoVersion 0.7.2
BUGFIX: ISO-9660 PVD/SVD Root Directory Record always showed with HEX, bug was introduced in v0.7.1 (harmless)
Version 0.7.1
BUGFIX: last byte of 'Implementation Use Area' was not displayed (UDF)
BUGFIX: Output variable 'Rblock' wrong in case of multiple Extents (UDF)
Small Output-related changes (textual only)
NEW: view Directory Record of the root of a directory with '--RECORD[2/3][RR]=[PATH].' (ISO-9660)
NEW: view Directory Record of Parent Directory with '--RECORD[2/3][RR]=[PATH]..' (ISO-9660)
NEW: view File Identifier Descriptor and (Extended) File Entry of Parent Directory with '--UDFRECORD=[PATH]..' (UDF)
