Ubuntu has a command utility called mkisofs, but due to your feedback I now realise it is a link to genisoimage
$mkisofs -v
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
genisoimage 1.1.9 (Linux)
genisoimage: Missing pathspec.
Usage: genisoimage [options] -o file directory ...

Use genisoimage -help
to get a list of valid options.

$ls -l `which mkisofs`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-11-09 21:25 /usr/bin/mkisofs -> genisoimage

Anyway my bug report against ubuntu distribution is still relevant, because
$man mkisofs
No manual entry for mkisofs
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

and that is what I am reporting the bug about.

However if it is a general decision that command line utilities that are actually links are not supposed to have a man page, then (and only then) this bug is invalid.
