Rock Ridge

The Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol (RRIP, IEEE P1282) is an extension to the ISO 9660 volume format, commonly used on CDROM and DVD media, which adds POSIX file system semantics. The availability of these extension properties allows for better integration with Unix and Unix-like operating systems.

The standard takes its name from the fictional town Rock Ridge in Mel Brooks' film Blazing Saddles.

    The forest waves, the morning breaks,
    The pastures sleep, ripple the lakes,

    The light passes
    from ridge to ridge,
    from flower to flower.
