Not much to using it: apt-get install udisks2 and everything gets set
up. I used the defaults. Devices are mounted under /media/"your
username". If you run a panel, the udisks2 gadget shows up there with
additional options. Manual unmounting is necessary, but I use only a
window manager (Openbox) and lxpanel for my GUI, so your mileage may
vary if you use a desktop environment.

Others have shown you how to access the mans. So, I won't repeat that.
