dwrite

Shell script to format & write or flash a bootable device.

Usage:

First compile to run this script:

$ gcc dwrite.c -o dwrite; ./dwrite -h

INFORMATION

-h: prints the help option.

-c: check devices.

-o: the path of the device.

-i: the ISO image.

-v: show the version of the script.

-F: format tables.(FAT32/EXT4/NTFS/ZERO)

TO FORMAT THE DEVICE

Use the device path and the format that you desire to write:

$ ./dwrite -o /dev/sdx -F EXT4

TO FLASH A IMAGE TO THE DEVICE

Use the ISO path and device flags:

$ ./dwrite -o /dev/sdx -i /path/of/the.iso

Use the main partition to describe it. The script will automatically write in the correct table.

Example: /dev/sdb | /dev/sdc | /dev/sde...

NOTE

You can also use it without enter in the folder where the script is:

$ mv dwrite /usr/local/sbin/dwrite
$ dwrite

Or as a ROOT:

# mv dwrite /usr/sbin/dwrite
# dwrite

This script have implemented sudo, because to write partitions you need to have the administrator's authority.
