NAME

6       gnome-disks - the GNOME Disks application
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gnome-disks [OPTIONS]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       gnome-disks is the command to launch the GNOME Disks application. Disks
13       provides a way to inspect, format, partition and configure disks and
14       block devices.
15
16       The Disks application is single-instance. What this means is that if
17       the application is not already running when the gnome-disks command is
18       invoked, it will get launched and the command invocation will block
19       until the application exits. Otherwise the existing application
20       instance will be used and the gnome-disks command will exit
21       immediately.
22

OPTIONS

24       The following options are understood:
25
26       --block-device DEVICE
27           Switches to the Disks application and selects the block device
28           given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sda).
29
30       --block-device DEVICE --format-device [--xid WINDOW-ID]
31           Shows the “Format Volume” dialog for the block device given by
32           DEVICE (for example, /dev/sdb1). If WINDOW-ID is given, makes the
33           dialog transient to the given XID.
34
35       --restore-disk-image FILE
36           Shows the “Restore Disk Image” dialog for the file given by FILE
37           (for example, /home/user/Downloads/SuperOS.iso) and prompts the
38           user to choose a disk to restore the image unto.
39
40       -h, --help
41           Prints a short help text and exits.
