💖 PICOTOOL-PARTITION-INFO 💖

okay bestie, so this is your girl's guide to picotool-partition-info, one of the little helper commands that lives under picotool (yep, User Commands energy, we're in the big leagues now). It does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly: it prints out the device's partition table. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

picotool-partition-info — print the device's partition table. literally its whole personality. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

picotool partition info [-m <family_id>] [device-selection]

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -m <family_id> — the family ID. what does it do for you? it'll show you the target partition for the family you asked about. family-specific tea, served fresh. 👑

🧚 Target device selection ✨

these are how you pick which device you're talking to, because sometimes there's more than one plugged in and you gotta be specific, we're not doing chaos here.

  • --bus <bus> — filter your devices by USB bus number. 🚌
  • --address <addr> — filter devices by USB device address. it's giving precise. 📍
  • --vid <vid> — filter by vendor id. 💜
  • --pid <pid> — filter by product id. 🍓
  • --ser <ser> — filter by serial number. no cap, this is the most specific one. 🔥
  • -f, --force — forces a device that isn't in BOOTSEL mode but is running compatible code to reset, so the command can actually run. then, after the command finishes (unless the command itself is a reboot), the device gets rebooted back into application mode. it's forceful, it's dramatic, it works. 💅
  • -F, --force-no-reboot — same deal, forces a device that's not in BOOTSEL mode but running compatible code to reset so your command can run. the difference? after the command runs (again, unless the command itself is a reboot), the device gets left connected and still accessible to picotool, but without the USB drive mounted. so close but not fully back to normal life. 😭
⚠️ quick reminder bestie: the -f/-F resets are only for devices running compatible code. don't come for me if you force something unhinged. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

(the original doesn't hand us any SEE ALSO refs here, so there's nothing extra to link up — but you already know picotool itself is your main character. 🫶)

that's the whole page, bestie. slay, ate, no crumbs. 👑
