NAME

       molotov - Create a bootable media from a Windows iso image.

DESCRIPTION

       Molotov  is  a command line utility designed to create a bootable USB drive using a Windows ISO image. To
       use Molotov, you'll need a flash drive with sufficient storage space and a Windows  image  which  can  be
       obtained by downloading it from Microsoft's website.

       - You need to have root access in order to perform the USB drive creation.

       - Bear in mind that ALL data in your device will be deleted!

EXIT VALUES

       0      Success!

       1      Some crucial internal function exited with the status 1, such as mkfs.ntfs or fdisk

       2      Some crucial internal function exited with the status 2, such as mkfs.ntfs or fdisk

       64     Unknown parameter

       65     Missing required arguments, it happens when the user omits either the -i or -d flag

       66     Iso image not found, when the user passes as argument a non-existent ISO image

       67     Block device not found, when the user passes as argument a non-existent device

       68     Indicates insufficient permissions to perform the requested operation.

              Commonly occurs when attempting to write to a device that requires administrative privileges (root
              access).

              Common causes:

              - The current user does not have write access to the target device

              - Device ownership is limited to root

              - The user is not root
