Description: Device evaluator and disk image copier for GNU/Linux
xorriso-dd-target is a command-line tool to evaluate block devices
of the Linux kernel whether they are suitable targets for a disk image
file and to optionally copy the image file to one of them.
It is specialized on the device names of the Linux kernel and uses the
capabilities of util-linux program lsblk. Therefore it refuses to run
on non-Linux kernels.
.
The main purpose of xorriso-dd-target is to inspect the device files of
disk-like storage media and to judge whether they look like removable
devices with disposable content.
If a single plausible candidate is detected, then the program is
willing to copy a disk image file onto it. This will overwrite or make
inaccessible the previous partition table and all previous data content
of the target device.
