auto-image2dev(8) System Manager's Manual auto-image2dev(8) SYNOPSIS auto-image2dev [--success-file file] file.img|file.iso device ARGUMENTS --success-file file Name a file to create upon success. file.img|file.iso A file containing an image of a disk with device Device name under /dev for the writable device DESCRIPTION auto-image2dev bit-copies a disk image to a writable storage disk device such as a USB thumb drive. All data on the device, including any existing partition table, will be lost. Note that this does not copy the file to the filesystem on the device, but makes the device itself a copy of the file. The --success-file option is useful when running auto-image2dev from a GUI application through a terminal emulator, which typically do not not pass back the exit status of the processes running under them. The image file should be a complete disk image containing one or more filesystems, such as a .iso file, a macOS .dmg file, or a FreeBSD .img in- staller image. The device name can generally be determined by running dmesg after connect- ing it. On FreeBSD, device names are typically da0, da1, etc. On Linux and NetBSD, sd0, sd1, etc. The device name can be given with or without a /dev/ prefix. RETURN VALUES 0 on success, non-zero error code on failure EXAMPLES auto-image2dev FreeBSD-13.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img /dev/da0 SEE ALSO dd(1), auto-media-format(8) auto-image2dev(8)
