Look just before the NOTES section of the manpage:

"     To use growisofs to write a pre-mastered ISO-image to a DVD:

             growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso

       where image.iso represents an arbitrary object in the filesystem,  such
       as file, named pipe or device entry.  Nothing is growing here and com-
       mand name is not intuitive in this context."
