Can someone tell what the command line would be for an ISO file?

From man mkisofs:

EXAMPLES
To create a vanilla ISO-9660 filesystem image in the file
cd.iso, where the directory cd_dir will become the root
directory if the CD, call:
% mkisofs -o cd.iso cd_dir

There were several pages of information on that man page. i would recommend you read it if you are interested.

Dude - what are you trying to do? If you are trying to burn a CD image from the CLI, just:

1. Put the data you want to save in a single directory, which I'll call /home/user/whatever and then make your image file, which I'll call "my_image.img" by running this command:
mkisofs -r -o my_image.img /home/user/whatever

2. Burn it to CD by running this command:
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -data my_image.img

Adjust the speed parameter to match your CD's specs and you're set. -- J.W.
