'''dvd+rw-tools''' (also known as '''growisofs''', it's main part) is a collection of [[open source]] computer programs that are popular [[DVD]] (and recently [[BluRay]]) burning tools for [[Linux]], [[FreeBSD]] and also [[Mac OS X 10.4]].&lt;!-- This is not accurate. Please, someone needs to correct me if I'm wrong. --&gt; The package itself requires [[cdrtools]] for it's [[mkisofs]]. More information can be acquired from the official page [http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/].

== Example usage ==
The following code is propably the most popular way of burning data onto the DVD media using '''growisofs'''.
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;
growisofs -speed=16 -Z /dev/dvd -R -J -joliet-long -f /tmp/burn_dir
&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
* ''-speed=16'' implies most likely the maximum speed of burning
* ''-Z /dev/dvd'' tells '''growisofs''' to use ''/dev/dvd''
* ''-R -J --joliet-long'' are mkisofs' options for long file names support using Rock Ridge Extension
* ''-f'' is also mkisofs' option, that makes it follow [[symbolic links]] (i.e. [[symlinks]])
* ''/tmp/burn_dir'' may be a directory containing data, or symlinks, or both
If you want to join new data to the existing ISO session, replace the ''-Z'' argument with ''-M''.

== Latest changes ==
Most notable changes for version 7.0 feature:
* Blu-ray Disc support [upon release tested with Panasonic SW-5582];
* Mac OS X 10&gt;=2 support [upon release tested on 10.4 only];
* .. and bug/compatibility fixes

Please, someone needs to correct me if I'm wrong. --&gt; The package itself requires [[cdrtools]] for it's [[mkisofs]] (which is used to create [[ISO9660]] images on the fly). More information can be acquired from the official page [http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/].

== Example usage ==

=== Burning on the fly ===
The following code is propably the most popular way of burning data onto the DVD media using growisofs.
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;
growisofs -speed=16 -Z /dev/dvd -R -J -joliet-long -f /tmp/burn_dir
&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
A short explanation on passed arguments:
* ''-speed=16'' - implies most likely the maximum burning speed
* ''-Z /dev/dvd'' - tells growisofs to use ''/dev/dvd''
* ''-R -J --joliet-long'' - are mkisofs' options for long file names support using Rock Ridge Extension
* ''-f'' - is also mkisofs' option, that makes it follow symbolic links (i.e. [[symlink|symlinks]])
* ''/tmp/burn_dir'' - may be a directory containing data, or symlinks, or both
If you want to join new data to the existing ISO session, replace the ''-Z'' argument with ''-M''.&lt;br&gt;

=== Burning a prepared image ===
Another way to burn is to use already created [[File System]] image (ISO9660 for example).
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;
growisofs -speed-16 -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/temp.iso
&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

== Latest changes ==
Most notable changes for version 7.0 feature:
* Blu-ray Disc support [upon release tested with Panasonic SW-5582];
* Mac OS X 10&gt;=2 support [upon release tested on 10.4 only];
* .. and bug/compatibility fixes

'''dvd+rw-tools''' (also known as '''growisofs''', its main part) is a collection of [[open source]] computer programs that are popular [[DVD]] (and recently [[BluRay]]) burning tools for [[Linux]], [[FreeBSD]], [[Windows]] and also [[Mac OS X v10.4]].&lt;!-- This may be not accurate. Please, someone needs to correct me if I'm wrong.  Yes it's accurate.  Under windows, there's a growisofs binary compiled with MinGW and even cygwin.  For OSX, i'm not sure..--&gt; The package itself requires [[cdrtools]] for its [[mkisofs]] (which is used to create [[ISO9660]] images on the fly).

== Example usage ==

=== Burning on the fly ===
The following code is probably the most popular way of burning data onto the DVD media using growisofs.
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;
growisofs -speed=16 -Z /dev/dvd -R -J -joliet-long -f /tmp/burn_dir
&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
A short explanation on passed arguments:
* ''-speed=16'' - implies most likely the maximum burning speed &lt;!-- What exactly do we mean by ''likely''? --&gt;
* ''-Z /dev/dvd'' - tells growisofs to use ''/dev/dvd'' as the device file
* ''-R -J --joliet-long'' - are mkisofs' options for long file names support using Rock Ridge Extension &lt;!-- Somewhat misleading - if it is for using Rock Ridge Extension, then why does the option spell ''--joliet-long''? --&gt;
* ''-f'' - is also mkisofs' option, that makes it follow symbolic links (i.e. [[symlink|symlinks]])
* ''/tmp/burn_dir'' - may be a directory containing data, or symlinks, or both
If you want to join new data to the existing ISO session, replace the ''-Z'' argument with ''-M''.&lt;br&gt;

=== Burning a prepared image ===
Another way to burn is to use already created [[File System]] image (ISO9660 for example).
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;
growisofs -speed=16 -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/temp.iso
&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

== Latest changes ==
Most notable changes for version 7.0 feature:
* Blu-ray Disc support [upon release tested with Panasonic SW-5582];
* Mac OS X 10&gt;=2 support [upon release tested on 10.4 only];
* .. and bug/compatibility fixes

== External Links ==
* [http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ Official website] &lt;!-- Is it right for me, to call it 'official' ? --&gt;

'''dvd+rw-tools''' (also known as '''growisofs''', its main part) is a collection of [[open source]] computer programs that are popular [[DVD]] (and recently [[Blu-ray Disc]]) burning tools for [[Linux]], [[FreeBSD]], [[Windows]] and also [[Mac OS X v10.4]].

The package itself requires another program which is used to create [[ISO9660]] images on the fly. This is provided by [[mkisofs]] (from the [[cdrtools]] package) or [[genisoimage]] (from the [[cdrkit]] package).

Released under the [[GNU General Public License]], dvd+rw-tools is [[free software]].

== Latest changes ==

Notable changes for version 7.0 include Blu-ray Disc support (upon release tested with Panasonic SW-5582) and support for [[Mac OS X]] 10.2 and later (upon release tested on 10.4 only).

'''dvd+rw-tools''' (also known as '''growisofs''', its main part) is a collection of [[open source]] computer programs that are popular [[DVD]] (and recently [[Blu-ray Disc]]) burning tools for [[Linux]], [[FreeBSD]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[Mac OS X]].

The package itself requires another program which is used to create [[ISO 9660]] images on the fly. This is provided by mkisofs (from the [[cdrtools]] package) or genisoimage (from the [[cdrkit]] package).

Released under the [[GNU General Public License]], dvd+rw-tools is [[free software]].

== Implementation ==
growisofs has a built-in [[w:dd (Unix)|dd]], which is the low-level process for sending data to the writer. This uses two buffers, the Ring Buffer (the growisofs program's software buffer) and the Unit Buffer (the drive's internal hardware buffer),&lt;ref name="ubuntu"&gt;[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1042283 ubuntu forums: growisofs - what does rbu and ubu mean?]&lt;/ref&gt; and to prevent [[buffer underrun]], these buffers must be kept filled. This is monitored and displayed in the status line as the RBU ("Ring Buffer Utilisation") and UBU ("Unit Buffer Utilisation").&lt;ref name="ubuntu" /&gt;

The package itself requires another program which is used to create [[ISO 9660]] images on the fly. This is provided by [[mkisofs]] (from the [[cdrtools]] package) or [[genisoimage]] (from the [[cdrkit]] package).

Released under the [[GNU General Public License]], dvd+rw-tools is [[free software]].

== Implementation ==
growisofs has a built-in [[w:dd (Unix)|dd]], which is the low-level process for sending data to the writer. This uses two buffers, the [[ring buffer|Ring Buffer]] (the growisofs program's software buffer) and the Unit Buffer (the drive's internal hardware buffer),&lt;ref name="ubuntu"&gt;[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1042283 ubuntu forums: growisofs - what does rbu and ubu mean?]&lt;/ref&gt; and to prevent [[buffer underrun]], these buffers must be kept filled. This is monitored and displayed in the status line as the RBU ("Ring Buffer Utilisation") and UBU ("Unit Buffer Utilisation").&lt;ref name="ubuntu" /&gt;

'''dvd+rw-tools''' (also known as '''growisofs''', its main part) is a

for [[Linux]], [[OpenBSD]], [[NetBSD]], [[FreeBSD]],

Released under the [[GNU General Public License]], dvd+rw-tools is
[[free software]].

== Implementation ==
growisofs is a [[MultiMedia_Commands|SCSI/MMC]] driver in userspace
for burning optical media, like [[Cdrtools|cdrecord]] or [[Libburnia|libburn]].
Its original purpose is to coordinate burning with a run of mkisofs,
so that ISO 9660 multi-session becomes possible on DVD+RW media. But soon it
supported all kinds of DVD media and later also BD (Blu-ray) media.
Further it can burn preformatted data images onto the media, not needing
any ISO 9660 formatter program for this task.

growisofs employs a [[Ring Buffer]] in userspace to smoothen the data
transmission to the drive. The fill level of this buffer is reported during
a burn run as "RBU", whereas the fill level of the drive's built-in buffer
is reported as "UBU".

== Programs ==
* '''growisofs''' burns data to DVD or BD media.
* '''dvd+rw-mediainfo''' reports about drive and medium status.
* '''dvd+rw-format''' formats some types of media, blanks DVD-RW media.
* '''dvd-ram-control''' controls [[Internal_hard-drive_defect_management|Defect Management]] and write protection of DVD-RAM media.
* '''dvd+rw-booktype''' sets the [[Book_type|Book Type]] property of DVD media.

== growisofs ==
growisofs is a [[MultiMedia_Commands|SCSI/MMC]] driver in userspace
for burning optical media, like [[Cdrtools|cdrecord]] or [[Libburnia|libburn]].
Its original purpose is to coordinate burning with a run of mkisofs,
so that ISO 9660 multi-session becomes possible on DVD+RW media. But soon it
supported all kinds of DVD media and later also BD (Blu-ray) media.
Further it can burn preformatted data images onto the media, not needing
any ISO 9660 formatter program for this task.

growisofs employs a [[Ring Buffer]] in userspace to smoothen the data
transmission to the drive. The fill level of this buffer is reported during
a burn run as "RBU", whereas the fill level of the drive's built-in buffer
is reported as "UBU".

== growisofs ==
growisofs is a [[MultiMedia Commands|SCSI/MMC]] driver in userspace for burning optical media, like [[Cdrtools|cdrecord]] or {{proper name|[[Libburnia|libburn]]}}. Its original purpose is to coordinate burning with a run of mkisofs, so that ISO 9660 [[multisession]] writing becomes possible on DVD+RW media, making it possible to add new files to a partially written disc with existing files.

Soon after, it supported all kinds of DVD media and later also BD (Blu-ray) media. Further it can burn preformatted data images onto the media, not needing any ISO 9660 formatter program for this task.

growisofs employs a [[Ring Buffer]] in userspace to smoothen the data transmission to the drive. The fill level of this buffer is reported during a burn run as "RBU", whereas the fill level of the drive's built-in buffer is reported as "UBU".

growisofs is able to create a UDF 1.02 file system that co-exists with the ISO9660 on the same disc or image, but it can not an create UDF-only disc or image. Additionally, multisessioning is only supported for ISO9660 file systems, not UDF.&lt;ref&gt;http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/&lt;/ref&gt;

== growisofs ==
growisofs is a [[MultiMedia Commands|SCSI/MMC]] driver in userspace for burning optical media, like [[Cdrtools|cdrecord]] or {{proper name|[[Libburnia|libburn]]}}. Its original purpose is to coordinate burning with a run of [[mkisofs]] or [[genisoimage]] (depending on repository), so that ISO 9660 [[multisession]] writing becomes possible on DVD+RW media, making it possible to add new files to a partially written disc with existing files.&lt;ref&gt;[https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/growisofs/growisofs.1.en.html growisofs(1) — growisofs — Debian bullseye — Debian Manpages]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://man.archlinux.org/man/growisofs.1 growisofs(1) — Arch manual pages]&lt;/ref&gt;

Soon after, it supported all kinds of DVD media and later also BD (Blu-ray) media. Further it can burn preformatted data images onto the media, not needing any ISO 9660 formatter program for this task.

growisofs employs a [[Ring Buffer]] in userspace to smoothen the data transmission to the drive. The fill level of this buffer is reported during a burn run as "RBU", whereas the fill level of the drive's built-in buffer is reported as "UBU".

growisofs is able to create a UDF 1.02 file system that co-exists with the ISO9660 on the same disc or image, but it can not an create UDF-only disc or image. Additionally, multisessioning (adding new files to a disc with existing files) is only supported for ISO9660 file systems, not UDF.&lt;ref&gt;[http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ Blu-ray Disc notes for dvd+rw-tools] - "[...] it is possible to burn bridge volume with large files with -udf option, but then multisessioning is out of picture."&lt;/ref&gt;

Example usage:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=sh&gt;
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=notray  -overburn -Z /dev/sr0 -speed=6 -r -udf  -V "volume label (disc title)" parent_directory
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

In this example, &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=notray&lt;/code&gt; keeps the tray closed after the burning process to prevent it from collecting dust when the computer is not in use. &lt;code&gt;-overburn&lt;/code&gt; tells the drive to try burning beyond the available capacity of the disc. However, if the drive refuses to write beyond a certain point, the program can not overrule the drive. &lt;code&gt;-speed=6&lt;/code&gt; sets a desired writing speed. If the speed is not supported by the drive or the disc type, the drive will usually write at a speed as close to the specified speed as possible. The parameters after that are inherited from [[genisoimage]] and enable the Rock Ridge extension, create a UDF file tree for files that exceed 4 GiB, and specify a volume label to be shown in [[file manager]]s.

Like ''genisoimage'', ''growisofs'' puts the files and folders inside "parent_directory" directly in the root directory of the disc, not inside a directory named "parent_directory".

Some undocumented options in the program are prefixed with &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=&lt;/code&gt;, which is a [[Star Wars]] reference. Such options are not meant for regular use but for [[power user]]s who "know what they're doing". For example, &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=spare:none&lt;/code&gt; doubles the writing speed by deactivating the use of a "spare area" that repeats writes of unreadable sectors during the writing process. It may be used to save time, given that new blank media is highly unlikely to cause errors.&lt;ref&gt;[http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ Blu-ray Disc notes for dvd+rw-tools] - "[…]most units will typically record at about 1/2 of the advertised media speed. This is because such units will spend every second revolution verifying the newly recorded data for defects.", "growisofs allows for SRM recordings without spare area through "undocumented" -use-the-force-luke=spare:none option, but it's not recommended[.]"&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;From the growisofs(1) manual: "There  are  several undocumented options commonly denoted with -use-the-force-luke prefix. Some of them serve debugging purposes. Some require certain knowledge about recording process or even OS kernel internals  and  as being such can induce confusing behaviour. Some are to be used in very specific situations better recognized by front-ends or automated  scripts. Rationale behind leaving these options undocumented is that those few users who would actually need to use them directly can  as  well  consult  the source code or obtain specific instructions elsewhere."&lt;/ref&gt;

'''dvd+rw-tools''' (also known as '''growisofs''', its main part) is a collection of [[open-source software|open-source]] [[DVD]] and [[Blu-ray Disc]] tools for [[Linux]], [[OpenBSD]], [[NetBSD]], [[FreeBSD]], [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]], [[HP-UX]], [[IRIX]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[OS X]]. dvd+rw-tools does not operate CD media.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite mailing list|last=Polyakov|first=Andy|title=Re: growisofs for cd-RW and DVD-RW?|url=https://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2003/11/msg00179.html|access-date=28 October 2017|date=27 November 2003|mailing-list=cdwrite|quote=No, growisofs does not work with nor is planned to work with CD-R[W].

Released under the [[GNU General Public License]], dvd+rw-tools is [[free software]].

== Programs ==
* '''growisofs''' burns data to DVD or BD media.
* '''dvd+rw-mediainfo''' reports about drive and medium status.
* '''dvd+rw-format''' formats some types of media, blanks DVD-RW media.
* '''dvd-ram-control''' controls [[Internal hard-drive defect management|Defect Management]] and write protection of DVD-RAM media.
* '''dvd+rw-booktype''' sets the [[Book type|Book Type]] property of DVD media.

== growisofs ==
growisofs is a [[MultiMedia Commands|SCSI/MMC]] driver in userspace for burning optical media, like [[Cdrtools|cdrecord]] or {{proper name|[[Libburnia|libburn]]}}. Its original purpose is to coordinate burning with a run of [[mkisofs]] or [[genisoimage]] (depending on repository), so that ISO 9660 [[multisession]] writing becomes possible on DVD+RW media, making it possible to add new files to a partially written disc with existing files.&lt;ref&gt;[https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/growisofs/growisofs.1.en.html growisofs(1) — growisofs — Debian bullseye — Debian Manpages]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://man.archlinux.org/man/growisofs.1 growisofs(1) — Arch manual pages]&lt;/ref&gt;

Soon after, it supported all kinds of DVD media and later also BD (Blu-ray) media. Further it can burn preformatted data images onto the media, not needing any ISO 9660 formatter program for this task.

growisofs employs a [[Ring Buffer]] in userspace to smoothen the data transmission to the drive. The fill level of this buffer is reported during a burn run as "RBU", whereas the fill level of the drive's built-in buffer is reported as "UBU".

growisofs is able to create a UDF 1.02 file system that co-exists with the ISO9660 on the same disc or image, but it can not an create UDF-only disc or image. Additionally, multisessioning (adding new files to a disc with existing files) is only supported for ISO9660 file systems, not UDF.&lt;ref&gt;[http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ Blu-ray Disc notes for dvd+rw-tools] - "[...] it is possible to burn bridge volume with large files with -udf option, but then multisessioning is out of picture."&lt;/ref&gt;

Example usage:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=sh&gt;
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=notray  -overburn -Z /dev/sr0 -speed=6 -r -udf  -V "volume label (disc title)" "parent directory"
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

In this example, &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=notray&lt;/code&gt; keeps the tray closed after the burning process to prevent it from collecting dust when the computer is not in use. &lt;code&gt;-overburn&lt;/code&gt; tells the drive to try burning beyond the available capacity of the disc. However, if the drive refuses to write beyond a certain point, the program can not overrule the drive. &lt;code&gt;-speed=6&lt;/code&gt; sets a desired writing speed. If the speed is not supported by the drive or the disc type, the drive will usually write at a speed as close to the specified speed as possible. The parameters after that are inherited from [[genisoimage]] and enable the Rock Ridge extension, create a UDF file tree for files that exceed 4 GiB, and specify a volume label to be shown in [[file manager]]s.

Like ''genisoimage'', ''growisofs'' places the files and folders inside "parent directory" directly in the root directory of the disc, not inside a directory named "parent directory".

Some undocumented options in the program are prefixed with &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=&lt;/code&gt;, which is a [[Star Wars]] reference. Such options are not meant for regular use but for [[power user]]s who "know what they're doing". For example, &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=spare:none&lt;/code&gt; doubles the writing speed by deactivating the verification of writes that would repeat writes if an error was found. It may be used to save time while producing many physical copies of data, given that errors are highly unlikely to occur on new blank media from a reputable brand.&lt;ref&gt;[http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ Blu-ray Disc notes for dvd+rw-tools] - "[…]most units will typically record at about 1/2 of the advertised media speed. This is because such units will spend every second revolution verifying the newly recorded data for defects.", "growisofs allows for SRM recordings without spare area through "undocumented" -use-the-force-luke=spare:none option, but it's not recommended[.]"&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;From the growisofs(1) manual: "There  are  several undocumented options commonly denoted with -use-the-force-luke prefix. Some of them serve debugging purposes. Some require certain knowledge about recording process or even OS kernel internals  and  as being such can induce confusing behaviour. Some are to be used in very specific situations better recognized by front-ends or automated  scripts. Rationale behind leaving these options undocumented is that those few users who would actually need to use them directly can  as  well  consult  the source code or obtain specific instructions elsewhere."&lt;/ref&gt;

== growisofs ==
growisofs is a [[MultiMedia Commands|SCSI/MMC]] driver in userspace for burning optical media, like [[Cdrtools|cdrecord]] or {{proper name|[[Libburnia|libburn]]}}. Its original purpose is to coordinate burning with a run of [[mkisofs]] or [[genisoimage]] (depending on repository), so that ISO 9660 [[multisession]] writing becomes possible on DVD+RW media, making it possible to add new files to a partially written disc with existing files.&lt;ref&gt;[https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/growisofs/growisofs.1.en.html growisofs(1) — growisofs — Debian bullseye — Debian Manpages]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://man.archlinux.org/man/growisofs.1 growisofs(1) — Arch manual pages]&lt;/ref&gt;

Soon after, it supported all kinds of DVD media and later also BD (Blu-ray) media. Further it can burn preformatted data images onto the media, not needing any ISO 9660 formatter program for this task.

growisofs employs a [[Ring Buffer]] in userspace to smoothen the data transmission to the drive. The fill level of this buffer is reported during a burn run as "RBU", whereas the fill level of the drive's built-in buffer is reported as "UBU".

growisofs is able to create a UDF 1.02 file system that co-exists with the ISO9660 on the same disc or image, but it can not an create UDF-only disc or image. Additionally, multisessioning (adding new files to a disc with existing files) is only supported for ISO9660 file systems, not UDF.&lt;ref&gt;[http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ Blu-ray Disc notes for dvd+rw-tools] - "[...] it is possible to burn bridge volume with large files with -udf option, but then multisessioning is out of picture."&lt;/ref&gt;

Some undocumented options in the program are prefixed with &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=&lt;/code&gt;, which is a [[Star Wars]] reference. Such options are not meant for regular use but for [[power user]]s who "know what they're doing". For example, &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=spare:none&lt;/code&gt; doubles the writing speed on Blu-ray by deactivating the write verification process that ensures written data is readable right after it was written and repeats writing any data found to be unreadable. Deactivating it can be desirable to save time while mass-producing physical copies of data, given that errors are highly unlikely to occur on new blank media from a reputable brand. This option has no effect on DVD writing given that DVDs have no write verification feature.&lt;ref&gt;[http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ Blu-ray Disc notes for dvd+rw-tools] - "[…]most units will typically record at about 1/2 of the advertised media speed. This is because such units will spend every second revolution verifying the newly recorded data for defects.", "growisofs allows for SRM recordings without spare area through "undocumented" -use-the-force-luke=spare:none option, but it's not recommended[.]"&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;From the growisofs(1) manual: "There  are  several undocumented options commonly denoted with -use-the-force-luke prefix. Some of them serve debugging purposes. Some require certain knowledge about recording process or even OS kernel internals  and  as being such can induce confusing behaviour. Some are to be used in very specific situations better recognized by front-ends or automated  scripts. Rationale behind leaving these options undocumented is that those few users who would actually need to use them directly can  as  well  consult  the source code or obtain specific instructions elsewhere."&lt;/ref&gt;

Note that "write verification" is not an official term for the feature, only a description for what it does.

Example usage:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=sh&gt;
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=notray -speed=6 -overburn -Z /dev/sr0  -r -udf -V "volume label (disc title)" "parent directory"
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

In this example, a file system is generated "on the fly", meaning in real time during the writing process. The &lt;code&gt;-use-the-force-luke=notray&lt;/code&gt; keeps the tray closed after the burning process to prevent it from collecting dust when the computer is not in use. &lt;code&gt;-overburn&lt;/code&gt; tells the drive to try burning beyond the available capacity of the disc. However, if the drive refuses to write beyond a certain point, the program can not overrule the drive. Without this option, growisofs will refuse to write data if it estimates the selected files exceed the size of the disc. &lt;code&gt;-speed=6&lt;/code&gt; sets a desired writing speed. If the speed is not supported by the drive or the disc type, the drive will usually write at a speed as close to the specified speed as possible. 

The parameters &lt;code&gt;Z /dev/sr0&lt;/code&gt; are inherited from [[genisoimage]] and enable the Rock Ridge extension, create a UDF file tree for files that exceed 4 GiB, and specify a volume label to be shown in [[file manager]]s. The commands inherited from genisoimage can not be specified intermittently with the ones specific to growisofs and have to come only after them, but can be in any order desired.

Like ''genisoimage'', ''growisofs'' places the files and folders inside "parent directory" directly in the root directory of the disc, not inside a directory named "parent directory", like file archival utilities such as [[ar (computing)|tar]] do.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=sh&gt;
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=notray -speed=4 -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Instead of generating a file system "on the fly", this command burns an existing image file to the disc. The commands inherited from &lt;code&gt;genisoimage&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;mkisofs&lt;/code&gt; are not needed, since they are only necessary for creating a new file system.

For previewing the space that will be occupied by a selection of files and the file system header, the parameter &lt;code&gt;-print-size&lt;/code&gt; can be used. Together with &lt;code&gt;-quiet&lt;/code&gt;, this will suppress any output except for the calculated size. The size is displayed in logical blocks, meaning units of 2048 bytes. This means that, for example, 12219392 logical blocks would fill up a single-layer BD-R ([[Blu-ray_Disc_recordable#Capacity|capacity table]]). This can be used to find out how much space will remain on a disc after a write with a given selection of files is completed. &lt;code&gt;dvd+rw-mediainfo&lt;/code&gt; can determine how much space is currently in use and how much is unused. By default, the tool refuses to write data if it detects that a disc doesn't have enough space for the selected files. This can be overridden with the &lt;code&gt;-overburn&lt;/code&gt; parameter.&lt;ref name=growisofs-manual /&gt;

For previewing the space that will be occupied by a selection of files and the file system header, the &lt;code&gt;-print-size&lt;/code&gt; parameter can be used. Together with &lt;code&gt;-quiet&lt;/code&gt;, this will suppress any output except for the calculated size. The size is displayed in logical blocks, meaning units of 2048 bytes. This means that, for example, 12219392 logical blocks would fill up a single-layer BD-R ([[Blu-ray_Disc_recordable#Capacity|capacity table]]). This can be used to find out how much space will remain on a disc after a write with a given selection of files is completed. By default, the tool refuses to write data if it detects that a disc doesn't have enough space for the selected files. This can be overridden with the &lt;code&gt;-overburn&lt;/code&gt; parameter. The &lt;code&gt;dvd+rw-mediainfo&lt;/code&gt; tool can determine how much space is currently in use and how much is unused.&lt;ref name=growisofs-manual /&gt;
