NAME

       scolasync - a file manager dedicated to dealing with a collection of removable media, like music mobile players. It makes easier to copy
       files to a set of removable media, and to copy files from them.

SYNOPSIS

       scolasync [{-c | --check}]

DESCRIPTION

       scolasync allows you to send a series of files towards a set of removable media. Every individual removable storage device is identified,
       for example to its owner. Then, later, you can retreive modified files from the same collection of removable media and track the
       modifications attributable to each owner.

       A possible usage is with students learning a foreign language: they are given homework on their USB sticks, and they bring them back with
       modified contents to get scores.

OPTIONS

       -c , --check
	   Enables checkboxes to select a subset of the usb storage media currently plugged to your computer, even if the checkboxes are not
	   wanted in the preferences of the application.

FILES

       ${HOME}/.scolasync/db
	   A database containing the preferences of the application, and the mapping between owners and USB storage media.

       /usr/share/scolasync/marques.py
	   A dictionary of pecularities which come with some brands of USB storage media.

       ${HOME}/.scolasync/marques.py
	   This dictionary overrides the settings in the system-wide configuration.

       ${HOME}/.scolasync/scolasync.log
	   A log file for the application.

removable-media(9P)                                        Kernel Properties for Drivers                                       removable-media(9P)

NAME

       removable-media - removable media device property

DESCRIPTION

       A  device  that  supports  removable  media--such  as CDROM, JAZZ, and ZIP drives--and that supports power management and expects automatic
       mounting of the device via the volume manager should export the boolean (zero length) property removable-media. This property  enables  the
       system to make the power state of the device dependent on the power state of the frame buffer and monitor. See the power.conf(4) discussion
       of the device-dependency-property entry for more information.

       Devices that behave like removable devices (such as PC ATA cards, where the controller and media both are removed at the same time)  should
       also export this property.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: removable-media Entry

       An example of a removable-media entry from the .conf file of a driver is shown below.

       # This entry keeps removable media from being powered down unless
       # the console framebuffer and monitor are powered down
       #
       removable-media=1;

       Example 2: Implementation in attach()

       Below is an example of how the entry above would be implemented in the attach(9E) function of the driver.

       xxattach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_attach_cmd_t cmd)
            {
            ...
                 if (ddi_prop_create(DDI_DEV_T_NONE, dip, DDI_PROP_CANSLEEP,
                     "removable-media", NULL, 0)) != DDI_PROP_SUCCESS)
                      goto failed;
            ...
            }
