Synopsis: mkisofs gets signal 6 if some options are not supplied State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: jkh State-Changed-When: Wed Oct 2 06:03:10 PDT 1996 State-Changed-Why: This is not actually a bug as the calls to abort() are intentional - they're deliberately flagging the fatal lack of a required argument. Admittedly, this constitues rather crude error checking and should almost certainly be implemented differently, but then that's true for all of mkisofs given that the whole thing needs a rewrite badly. I'm going to close this as a "feature" and comment that anyone wishing to rewrite mkisofs more than has my blessing to do so.
