Usage

rip [image] [flags]

Prompts you to select a drive, confirms before writing, then flashes the image. Accepts a local file or URL.

rip image.iso
rip image.img --buffer 8
rip https://example.com/image.iso
rip https://example.com/image.iso --output ~/Downloads

Raw copy only — works for standard .iso and .img disk images. Does not handle images that require bootloader installation (e.g. Windows ISOs).

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
-b, --buffer	4	Write buffer size in MB
