mkisofs is a well known program name and I cannot see that your proposal for a
name change could help to reduce confusion for users.
The probably biggest help for _new_ users was to list only the "most important"
options in case of a usage error:
Most important Options:
-posix-H Follow sylinks encountered on command line
-posix-L Follow all symlinks
-posix-P Do not follow symlinks (default)
-o FILE, -output FILE Set output file name
-R, -rock Generate Rock Ridge directory information
-r, -rational-rock Generate rationalized Rock Ridge directory info
-J, -joliet Generate Joliet directory information
-print-size Print estimated filesystem size and exit
-UDF Generate UDF file system
-dvd-video Generate DVD-Video compliant UDF file system
-iso-level LEVEL Set ISO9660 level (1..3) or 4 for ISO9660 v 2
-V ID, -volid ID Set Volume ID
-graft-points Allow to use graft points for filenames
-M FILE, -prev-session FILE Set path to previous session to merge
to lead people to the right options.
