GNOME-DISKS(1)                gnome-disk-utility                GNOME-DISKS(1)

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.
