FORMATUSB(1)

NAME
formatusb - format removable USB devices

SYNOPSIS
formatusb

DESCRIPTION
formatusb is a graphical utility for formatting removable USB devices. Select a target device, a filesystem type, and optionally a filesystem label. By default the complete device is repartitioned with one partition before it is formatted.

The supported filesystem choices include FAT32/VFAT, NTFS, ext4, and exFAT. The partition-table choice can be MBR/msdos, GPT, or automatic. Devices smaller than 2 TiB use MBR/msdos by default when automatic selection is used.

Enable Show Partitions when the operation should target an individual partition instead of repartitioning the complete device. Enable Show All Devices to remove the removable-device filter.

Formatting destroys data on the selected device or partition. Check the target carefully before confirming.

OPTIONS
This application has no documented command-line options. The graphical interface provides all operations.
