Shell Programming and Scripting

-find This option acts a separator. If it is used, all mkisofs
options must be to the left of the -find option. To the right of
the -find option, mkisofs accepts the find command line syntax

names and the consumer, which is archiving engine. If the find
expression evaluated as TRUE, then the related file is selected
for processing, otherwise it is omited.

In order to make the evaluation of the find expression more con-

gives me output error:

xargs: unmatched single quote; by default quotes are special to xargs unless you use the -0 option
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
genisoimage: No such file or directory. Invalid node - '/home/lance/Music/Pat'.

I tried the mkisofs man pages way- by putting find on the right side but was getting another error about genisoimage no longer having the -i option.
