>Description:

mkisofs requires a -o and a pathname. The usage when it's run without
arguments lists the -o as optional. The man page lists it as being
required. Running mkisofs without -o seems to dump stuff to the screen,
and doesn't produce a file with an ISO filesystem in it.

>How-To-Repeat:

mkisofs ; man mkisofs | head -12
