Etcher: Etcher-cli: list of flashable devices

[tangb]

Hi

I want to use etcher-cli on linux mac and windows and I'm looking for a way to detect flashable devices on all platforms.
Is etcher-cli able to return available flashable devices?

Thank you for your answer ;)

Not at the moment, but https://github.com/resin-io-modules/drivelist is able to do that :)

@tangb Is drivelist able to provide you the info you're looking for (in which case can this issue be closed?), or is there something more specific you're looking for from etcher-cli?

@lurch I think the intention is to list the available drives from the CLI, to see which one to flash. But that's also already available; if you omit the --drive option you'll be presented with a list of devices to select from, i.e.:

$ etcher ~/Downloads/something.img
? Select drive (Use arrow keys)
❯ /dev/disk2 (31.9 GB) - SD Card Reader

Closing, as this feature is already available

@jhermsmeier My first intention was to list available drives from python. So i was looking for if etcher-cli was able to return me that list.
Finally I find another way to do the job, looking how it was done in drivelist.
Anyway the "feature" can be closed even if it could be cool that etcher-cli directly returns that drive list :smile:

Thank you

Sorry that I misunderstood; in that case you're really looking for drivelist
