NAME

       udiskie - automounter for removable media

SYNOPSIS

       udiskie [OPTIONS]

       udiskie-mount [OPTIONS] (-a | DEVICE...)

       udiskie-umount [OPTIONS] (-a | PATH...)

DESCRIPTION

       udiskie is an udisks2 front-end written in python. Its main purpose is automatically
       mounting removable media, such as CDs or flash drives. It has optional mount
       notifications, a GTK tray icon and user level CLIs for manual mount and unmount
       operations. The media will be mounted in a new directory under /media or /run/media/USER/,
       using the device name if possible.

       Mount all media:

           udiskie-mount -a

       Mount /dev/sdb1:

           udiskie-mount /dev/sdb1

CONFIGURATION

       The file .config/udiskie/config.yml can be used to configure defaults for command line
       parameters and customize further settings. The actual path may differ depending on
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. The file format is YAML, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML. If you
       don’t want to install PyYAML, it is possible to use an equivalent JSON file with the name
       config.json instead.

           # This is an example (nonsense) configuration file for udiskie.

           program_options:
             # Configure defaults for command line options

             tray:             auto    # [bool] Enable the tray icon. "auto"
                                       # means auto-hide the tray icon when
                                       # there are no handled devices.

             menu:             flat    # ["flat" | "nested"] Set the
                                       # systray menu behaviour.

             automount:        false   # [bool] Enable automatic mounting.

                                       # disabled by default. It can be disabled
                                       # explicitly by setting it to false

             file_manager:     xdg-open

             password_prompt: ["gnome-keyring-query", "get", "{id_uuid}"]
               # [string|list] Set command to retrieve passwords. If specified
               # as a list it defines the ARGV array for the program call. If
               # specified as a string, it will be expanded in a shell-like
               # manner. Each string will be formatted using `str.format`. For a
               # list of device attributes, see below. The two special string values
               # "builtin:gui" and "builtin:tty" signify to use udiskie's
               # builtin password prompt.

             event_hook: "zenity --info --text '{event}: {device_presentation}'"

             # Only the first matching rule that defines a given action is used.
             # The rules defined here are simply prepended to the builtin device rules,
             # so that it is possible to completely overwrite the defaults by specifying
             # a catch-all rule (i.e. a rule without device attributes).
