CLI Cleaner Drives

`ed cleaner drives`

Lists the mounted volumes, largest internal first.

Usage:

ed cleaner drives [--json]

Options:

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`--json`	flag	off	Emits one JSON document on stdout.

There are no positional arguments.

--json shape, an array with one object per volume:

[
  {
    "external": false,
    "id": "/",
    "name": "Macintosh HD",
    "totalBytes": 494384795648
  }
]

id is the mount point, which is also what you would pass to --root to sweep that volume. name is the volume name macOS reports, falling back to the last path component. totalBytes is capacity, not free space; ed system disks is where free space lives. external is true when the volume is removable or is not an internal one, so a Thunderbolt SSD and a USB stick both read as external.

Examples:

ed cleaner drives
ed cleaner drives --json
ed cleaner scan --root /Volumes/Backup

$ ed cleaner drives
NAME          MOUNT  SIZE    KIND
Macintosh HD  /      494 GB  internal

Behaviour: this enumerates mounted volumes and hides the hidden ones. It writes nothing and needs nothing running. Ordering is internal volumes before external ones, and within each group largest capacity first. Nothing else in the CLI consumes this list: the app's drive picker stores a chosen set in cleanerSelectedDrives, but ed cleaner scan and ed cleaner clean never read that setting, so drives is here to tell you which mount point to hand to --root.
