The _size_ and _offset_ arguments may be followed by the multiplicative suffixes like KiB (=1024), MiB (=1024*1024), and so on for GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB, ZiB and YiB (the "iB" is optional, e.g., "K" has the same meaning as "KiB"), or the suffixes KB (=1000), MB (=1000*1000), and so on for GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB and YB.
*-c*, *--cache-file* _cachefile_::
-Read from _cachefile_ instead of reading from the default cache file (see the CONFIGURATION FILE section for more details). If you want to start with a clean cache (i.e., don't report devices previously scanned but not necessarily available at this time), specify _/dev/null_.

*-d*, *--no-encoding*::
Don't encode non-printing characters. The non-printing characters are encoded by ^ and M- notation by default. Note that the *--output udev* output format uses a different encoding which cannot be disabled.
*-g*, *--garbage-collect*::
Perform a garbage collection pass on the blkid cache to remove devices which no longer exist.
-*-h*, *--help*::
-Display a usage message and exit.
+*-H*, *--hint* _setting_::
+Set probing hint. The hints are an optional way to force probing functions to
+check, for example, another location. The currently supported is
+"session_offset=_number_" to set session offset on multi-session UDF.
*-i*, *--info*::
Display information about I/O Limits (aka I/O topology). The 'export' output format is automatically enabled. This option can be used together with the *--probe* option.
*-U*, *--uuid* _uuid_::
Look up the device that uses this filesystem _uuid_. For more details see the *--label* option.
-*-V*, *--version*::
-Display version number and exit.
