✨ GNOME-DISK-IMAGE-MOU(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about gnome-disk-image-mounter — that's a section 1 manual page from the gnome-disk-utility girlies 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnome-disk-image-mounter — attach and mount disk images 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So gnome-disk-image-mounter is literally here to set up disk images for you, no cap. You can throw either regular files or GVfs URIs at the URI parameter — like, say, smb://filer/media/file.iso — and it just handles it. 💖

And if you give it no URIs at all while a window server is running? Bestie, it pops open a graphical file chooser so you can point and click like the main character you are. ✨

🚨 okay important note, don't skip this one: gnome-disk-image-mounter will NOT mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes inside the disk image. That's not its job, periodt. That responsibility is handed off to the automounter in GNOME Shell, so that everything behaves the exact same way it would if your disk image were a regular physical device or disc. it's giving consistency. 👑

By default, disk images get attached read-only — so nothing spicy happens to them unless you say so. Wanna change that? Use the --writable option. 🔥

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success, and non-zero on failure. classic. 💀
