Command to mount ISO file in Linux

Here is the command to use to mount an ISO file in Linux so that you can explore the file as if it were mounted on a CD-Rom or DVD-Rom, without having to burn to a disc:
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop filename.iso /folder/to/mount/to
This functionality is similar to Daemon Tools or Alcohol on Microsoft Windows.
