How to detect Hybrid ISOs?

votes

Asking for a friend:

How does one detect a hybrid file system ISO, the ones that have HFS and Joliet for example?

$ head -c 2048 my.iso | grep -c Apple_partition_map

Is there any tool that would give more meaningful metadata than "ISO9660'?

iso
hybrid
filesystem
joliet
disk-image

How about disktype? AFAICT it covers the formats of interest.
