NAME
gnome-disks - 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.
