Its description emphasizes detection of image-file structure rather than a large suite of disk-authoring features. ### Adoption history iat survived mostly through distribution packaging. Debian carries it in the `otherosfs` section, describes support for BIN, MDF, PDI, CDI, NRG, and B5I input formats, and publishes source packages; Homebrew also packages version 0.1.7 for macOS and Linux users. ### How it is used The package fits the rescue-and-conversion corner of Unix tooling: users install a tiny CLI when they need to turn legacy CD-ROM image formats into a plain ISO-9660 image that other tools can mount, inspect, or burn. ### Why package nerds care iat is interesting less for active upstream development than for preservation. It is a BerliOS-origin utility that remains reachable through SourceForge, Debian, Nix, Ubuntu, and Homebrew metadata, showing how small file-format converters persist in package ecosystems long after their hosting history changes. ### Timeline - 2006: SourceForge records the project registration date. - 2014: SourceForge records a project update. - 0.1.7: Debian and Homebrew package the same upstream version. ### Related projects - Debian lists similar or adjacent image and filesystem packages such as acetoneiso, genisoimage, fuseiso, and libcdio-related packages. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** iat - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - iat - 0.1.7-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: iat from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Converts many CD-ROM image formats to iso9660 | https://www.berlios.de/software/iso9660-analyzer-tool/ - Nix - iat: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ia/iat/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - iat - 0.1.3-7.1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: iat from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Converts many CD-ROM image formats to iso9660 ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Media and graphics packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/media-graphics-tools/) - Matched media, image, audio, video, or graphics metadata. - [ccd2iso](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ccd2iso/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, conversion, disk-image, disk-images, system. - [libdsk](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libdsk/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-images, system. - [bdftopcf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bdftopcf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, conversion, system. - [disktype](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/disktype/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-image, system. - [e2tools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/e2tools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-image, system. - [mdf2iso](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mdf2iso/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, disk-image, system. - [xorriso](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/xorriso/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, iso9660, system. - [abduco](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/abduco/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, system. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
