An ISO image is literally just an image of the disc.  That's why
CD-R burners like them; it's just literally the bits that should go
on the disc.

So there is no "header" information in the sense of there being anything
in the file which is different from the disc.  They are supposed to
be the same.

You can actually mount ISO images using the "vn" device.  Check
out the man pages for "vn" and "vnconfig" if this sounds useful.
