Hi,

i now understand why command -ls is not what you need:
It warns if any of the given files is missing.
You want a warning if all given files are missing.

So i implemented two new -find tests:

  -use_pattern   "on"|"off"   :  This  pseudo  test  controls  the
      interpretation of wildcards with tests -name,  -whole_name,  and
      -disk_name.  Default  is  "on". If interpretation is disabled by
      "off", then the parameters of -name, -wholename, and  -disk_name
      have  to  match  literally  rather than as search pattern.  This
      test itself does always match.

  -or_use_pattern   "on"|"off"   :    Like    -use_pattern,    but
      automatically  appending  the  test  by -or rather than by -and.
      Further the test itself does never match. So a  subsequent  test
      -or will cause its other operand to be performed.

I do not see a need to distinguish between iso_rr files and disk files.
If the user wants a particular setting for the next test, then this
can be done immediately before it by inserting one of above pseudo
tests.
The logical operator before the next test decides which of both
pseudos is more appropriate:
  -test1 [-and] -use_pattern off [-and] -test2
or
  -test1 -or_use_pattern off -or -test2

Your example could look like

  xorriso -indev image.iso -return_with WARNING 32 -report_about WARNING \
    -find / -use_pattern off \
            -wholename "$name1" -or -wholename "$name2" -exec lsdl

One could also use patterns and non-patterns mixed

    -find / -use_pattern off -wholename "$name1" \
            -or_use_pattern on -or -wholename "$name2"'*' \
            -or_use_pattern off -or -wholename "$name3" 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This feature is now in the SVN of libisoburn.

I plan to upload a new development tarball of GNU xorriso, when we
have discussed your other wish (about extraction) and i eventually
have implemented some solution.

Ping me if you want to try the new -find tests first.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
