gnome-disks - Man Page
the GNOME Disks application
Synopsis
gnome-disks [Options]
Description
gnome-disks is the command to launch the GNOME Disks application. Disks provides a way to inspect, format, partition and configure disks and block devices.
The Disks application is single-instance. What this means is that if the application is not already running when the gnome-disks command is invoked, it will get launched and the command invocation will block until the application exits. Otherwise the existing application instance will be used and the gnome-disks command will exit immediately.
Options
The following options are understood:
- --block-device DEVICE
Switches to the Disks application and selects the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sda).
- --block-device DEVICE --format-device [--xid WINDOW-ID]
Shows the “Format Volume” dialog for the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sdb1). If WINDOW-ID is given, makes the dialog transient to the given XID.
- --restore-disk-image FILE
Shows the “Restore Disk Image” dialog for the file given by FILE (for example, /home/user/Downloads/SuperOS.iso) and prompts the user to choose a disk to restore the image unto.
- -h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.
