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.

Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or ridge:

    The acorn’s not yet
    Fallen from the tree
    That’s to grow the wood,
    That’s to make the cradle,
    That’s to rock the bairn,
    That’s to grow a man,
    That’s to lay me.
    —Unknown. The Cauld Lad of Hilton or, The Wandering Spectre (l. 2–8)

    The light passes
    from ridge to ridge,
    from flower to flower.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
