Yes, if you have a CDROM in your drive that is. What this command does
is a byte for byte copy of the image on the /dev/cdrom, which if you
have an CD in your drive, usually means you will end up with an iso
image in 'foo.iso'.
I will ofcourse not create an iso-image from scratch for you.

Yes, there are specifications for both the main iso layout (Red Book,
IIRC. Some color anyway) and the various extensions (Joliet,
rockridge). For more information, I guess 'mkisofs' source is a safe
bet. ;)
