# udisks-daemon(8)

udisks Daemon

## NAME

udisks-daemon - udisks Daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**udisks-daemon** \[**--help**\]

## DESCRIPTION

*udisks-daemon* provides the *org.freedesktop.UDisks* service on the system message bus. Users or administrators should never need to start this daemon as it will be automatically started by [**dbus-daemon**(1)](/dbus-daemon/1.md) whenever an application calls into the *org.freedesktop.UDisks* service.

See the [**udisks**(7)](/udisks/7.md) man page for information on how to customize how *udisks-daemon* works.
