        =====
        
        ``wrimg`` is an alternative for dd to write images to removable media. It has
        the following advantages:
        
        * Syncs buffers after each chunk is written, allowing ``C-c`` to work
        * For the same reason ``wrimg`` can make accurate predictions about the remaining time
        * Automatically adjusts buffer size when copying
        * Contains extra safety-checks to keep you from accidentally erasing your
          hard drives!
        
        It is slightly slower than ``dd``, with common SD-card/USB data rates usually a
        second or two. Copying between two very fast devices (like SSD-to-SSD) is
        better left to ``dd``.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        ``wrimg`` can be installed from PyPI_::
        
          $ pip install wrimg
        
        .. _PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/wrimg
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Usage is straightforward:
        
          $ wrimg someimg.iso -t /dev/sdX
        
        The ``--target/-t`` can be omitted, causing wrimg to display a menu of suitable
        targets. For other options, check the ``--help`` option.
