Where is mkisofs

Hi - I am new to Arch, though not to Linux.

Anyway I installed Arch some time back (base + selected packages). Now mkisofs is not installed on the system and searching for it with pacman brings up this

[raja@arch shared]$ pacman -Ss mkisofs
extra/cdw 0.2.4-4
    An ncurses CD writer program which uses cdrecord and mkisofs
extra/gcombust 0.1.55-3
    gtk+ frontend for mkisofs, mkhybrid, cdrecord, and cdlabelgen
extra/graveman 0.3.12.5-3
    A CD-burning frontend for mkisofs, cdrecord and friends
extra/tcdr 2.1-4
    TCDR is a dialog-based console frontend for mkisofs, cdrecord, cdrdao, mkzftree, cdparanoia,
    cdda2wav, bladeenc, lame, oggenc, ogg123, mpg123, and sox written in bash.
[raja@arch shared]$ sudo pacman -S cdw

Targets: cdrkit-1.1.6-1  libao-0.8.6-2  vorbis-tools-1.1.1-6  cdw-0.2.4-4

Total Package Size:   1.24 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n

So how can I install mkisofs ?

Late hint for newbies: Check the man pages, the package is listed on the right - https://man.archlinux.org/man/mkisofs.8

Seriously, xerus, how many times do you have to be told not to necrobump?

Re: Where is mkisofs

Seems a stronger warning is needed. Take two weeks to read the General Guidelines and commit them to memory.
