gnome-disk-image-mounter

Attach and mount disk images

## SYNOPSIS

          gnome-disk-image-mounter
          --writable
          --wait-until-clear
          URI

## DESCRIPTION

`gnome-disk-image-mounter` can be used to mount disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as `smb://filer/media/file.iso`) can be used in the `URI` parameter. If no `URI`s are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented.

If a disk image is partitioned, all mountable partitions in the image will be mounted (except for e.g. firmware partitions). Otherwise the whole disk image will be mounted. If a disk image is not mountable or mounting fails, an error will be presented either on standard error or in a dialog box if a window server is running.

After mounting `gnome-disk-image-mounter` will exit unless the option `--wait-until-clear` is used, in which case the program will sit and wait until all loop devices set up, are no longer in use.

By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option `--writable` to change this.

Loop devices will be set up using the autoclear option. This means that the loop device will be cleared when the last filesystem using it has been unmounted.

## RETURN VALUE

`gnome-disk-image-mounter` returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
