NAME
       dsbmc-cli -- command-line client	for DSBMD

SYNOPSIS
       dsbmc-cli -L event command [arg ...] ; [-L ...]
       dsbmc-cli -a [-b	dev1,dev2,...] [-U time] [[-L event command [arg ...]]
		 ; [-L ...]]
       dsbmc-cli {{-e |	-u} [-f] | {-m | -s | -u | -v speed}} device
       dsbmc-cli {-e | -u} <mount point>
       dsbmc-cli -i <disk image>
       dsbmc-cli -l
       dsbmc-cli [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       dsbmc-cli is a command-line client for DSBMD that provides a simple in-
       terface	to  query  information	about storage devices, and to send re-
       quests to mount,	unmount	and eject these.

OPTIONS
       -L      Listen for event, and execute the command every time the	 event
	       is  received.  Possible	events	are  mount,  unmount, add, and
	       remove.	The command must be terminated by a semicolon (`;') as
	       a separate argument. Each event provides	information about  the
	       device  that  can be accessed using the placeholders %d (device
	       name), %l (volume label), %m  (mount  point)  (only  mount  and
	       unmount	),  and	 %t (device type). A literal percent character
	       (`%') must be escaped by	a further `%' character	("%%").

	       Possible	values for the device  type  (%t)  are	hdd,  usbdisk,
	       datacd, audiocd,	dvd, vcd, svcd,	mmc, mtp, and ptp.

	       The -L option can be given multiple times.

       -U      Auto-unmount. Try to unmount each automounted device every time
	       seconds.

       -a      Automount.  After  mounting  all	 devices  presented  by	DSBMD,
	       dsbmc-cli(1) waits for new devices added	 to  the  system,  and
	       mounts  them.   In addition, the	-L option can be specified for
	       each event. If dsbmc-cli(1) automounts a	 device,  it  executes
	       the command defined for the mount event.

       -b dev1,dev2,...
	       Define  a  comma-separated list of devices and/or volume	labels
	       to ignore if the	-a option is given. Volume labels must be pre-
	       fixed by	"volid=".
	       Example:	dsbmc-cli -a -b	da0p2,volid=EFISYS,volid=TMP

       -e device, -e <mount point>
	       Eject the given device or the device mounted on <mount point>

       -i <disk	image>
	       Create a	memory disk to access the given	disk image.

       -l      List all	currently attached devices DSBMD supports.

       -m device
	       Mount the given device.

       -s device
	       The storage capacity of the given device	is  queried,  and  the
	       media  size,  the  number of used and free bytes	are printed to
	       stdout.

       -u device, -u <mount point>
	       Unmount the given device	or the device mounted on <mount	point>

       -v speed	device
	       Set the reading speed of	the given CD/DVD device.

EXAMPLES
	     $ dsbmc-cli -L mount printf "%%s was mounted on %%s\n" %d %m ';'

       This command listens for	mount events, and executes the printf command,
       where %d	and %m are replaced by the device name and mount point.

	     $ dsbmc-cli -a -L add sh -c 'case %t in audiocd) vlc cdda://%d&;;
	     dvd) vlc dvd://%d&;; esac'	';' -L mount sh	-c 'Thunar %m&'	';'

       In this example,	dsbmc-cli automounts devices, and listens for add  and
       mount  events.  If  an  audio CD	or a DVD was inserted, the command vlc
       cdda://%d& or vlc dvd://%d& is executed,	respectively. If a device  was
       mounted,	 dsbmc-cli  executes  the  command Thunar %m&, where %m	is re-
       placed by the mount point.
