GNOME-DISKS(1)

  .SH "NAME" gnome-disks - the GNOME Disks application
  .SH "SYNOPSIS"
    .HP u
      gnome-disks
       [OPTIONS]

  .SH "DESCRIPTION"
    .PP 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.
    .PP 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.

  .SH "OPTIONS"
    .PP The following options are understood:

      .PP --block-device DEVICE

              Switches to the Disks application and selects the block device given by DEVICE (for example, /dev/sda).

          .RE
          .PP --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.

              .RE
              .PP --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.

                  .RE
                  .PP -h, --help

                          Prints a short help text and exits.
