# writedisk
Small utility for writing a disk image to a USB drive.
Usage: `writedisk `
This will scan for connected USB disks and prompt for you to select
one. Then the input file will be copied to the drive. The copying
operation is done with a small `wd_copier` binary that is
automatically invoked with `sudo`.
Linux only for now.

```shell
cargo install writedisk
```
### Nix/NixOS
Per user:
```shell
nix-env --install writedisk
