💖 ISOIMAGEWRITER 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about isoimagewriter from the User Commands corner of the manual. it's a lil CLI baddie whose whole job is putting an ISO image onto a USB disk. that's it. that's the gig. and it ate. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

isoimagewriter — write an ISO image to a USB Disk 🦋

like literally, that's the entire personality. ISO in, USB out, no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🎀 Usage:

isoimagewriter [options] [File]

that's the whole vibe check right there — you give it some options, you give it a file, it does the thing. 🫶

💜 Help Options:

  • -h, --help — displays help on commandline options. your emergency "wait what do i type" button, no shame in it. 🙈
  • --help-all — displays help including Qt specific options. same energy as --help but it goes deeper, it shows you the Qt-flavoured extras too. 👑

⭐ Application Options:

  • -v, --version — displays version information. classic. she's telling you what version she is. 💖
  • --lang <language> — bestie the man page literally does not say what this does, it's just sitting there, mysterious, giving nothing. it takes a <language> and that's all we know fr fr. 🤷‍♀️
  • --dir <path> — same situation, iconic but unexplained. it wants a <path> and the page refuses to elaborate. 💀
  • --author — show author information. who made this? mystery solved. 🌈
  • --license — show license information. the legal tea, served fresh. 🍓
  • --desktopfile <file name> — the base file name of the desktop entry for this application. yes, the base file name specifically, not the whole path. noted. ✨

🧚 Arguments:

  • [File] — ISO file to open. this is your main character moment: the actual ISO you want written to that USB disk. it's in brackets so it's optional-ish in the synopsis, but c'mon, that's literally the whole point of the program. 🎀
heads up bestie: writing an ISO to a USB disk is a real, physical, destructive-ish kind of operation. make sure you're pointing it at the right disk, okay? the man page doesn't spell out the drama, but you know. be careful. 💅
