+@chapter Invoking grub-mkrescue
+
+The program @command{grub-mkrescue} generates a bootable GRUB rescue image
+(@pxref{Making a GRUB bootable CD-ROM}).
+
+@example
+grub-mkrescue -o grub.iso
+@end example
+
+All arguments not explicitly listed as @command{grub-mkrescue} options are
+passed on directly to @command{xorriso} in @command{mkisofs} emulation mode.
+Options passed to @command{xorriso} will normally be interpreted as
+@command{mkisofs} options; if the option @samp{--} is used, then anything
+after that will be interpreted as native @command{xorriso} options.
+
+Non-option arguments specify additional source directories.  This is
+commonly used to add extra files to the image:
+
+@example
+mkdir -p disk/boot/grub
+@r{(add extra files to @file{disk/boot/grub})}
+grub-mkrescue -o grub.iso disk
+@end example
+
+@command{grub-mkrescue} accepts the following options:
+
+@table @option
+@item --help
+Print a summary of the command-line options and exit.
+
+@item --version
+Print the version number of GRUB and exit.
+
+@item -o @var{file}
+@itemx --output=@var{file}
+Save output in @var{file}.  This "option" is required.
+
+@item --modules=@var{modules}
+Pre-load the named GRUB modules in the image.  Multiple entries in
+@var{modules} should be separated by whitespace (so you will probably need
+to quote this for your shell).
+
+@item --rom-directory=@var{dir}
+If generating images for the QEMU or Coreboot platforms, copy the resulting
+@file{qemu.img} or @file{coreboot.elf} files respectively to the @var{dir}
+directory as well as including them in the image.
+
+@item --xorriso=@var{file}
+Use @var{file} as the @command{xorriso} program, rather than the built-in
+default.
+
+@item --grub-mkimage=@var{file}
+Use @var{file} as the @command{grub-mkimage} program, rather than the
+built-in default.
