On macOS, the following may also be of interest. I don't recall ever
using non-default options.

$ hdiutil burn -help
hdiutil burn: burn an image to optical media
Usage:	hdiutil burn <image>
	Options:
	    -speed <speed e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8, ... max>
	    -device <OpenFirmware path>
	    -sizequery		just calculate size of disc required
	    -testburn		don't turn on laser

	Toggles:
	    -[no]eject		do (not) eject disc after burning [default: eject]
	    -[no]verifyburn	do (not) verify disc contents after burn [default: 
verifyburn]

	    -[no]addpmap	do (not) add partition map [default: addpmap only if 
necessary]
	    -[no]synth		do (not) synthesize new filesystem from volume 
[default: synth only if necessary]
	    -[no]skipfinalfree	do (not) skip burning final free partition
