13              Apply  firmware  updates.  <guid>  and <firmware.cap> have to be
14              separates arguments;  don't  do  --apply="<guid> <firmware.cap>"
15              but --apply=<guid> <firmware.cap>
16
17       -l, --list
18              List supported firmware updates
19
20       -s, --supported
21              Query for firmware update support
22
23       -i, --info
24              Show the information of firmware update status
25
26       -e, --enable
27              Enable  firmware  update  support  on  supported  systems  (will
28              require a reboot)
29
30       -d | -D, --set-debug | --unset-debug
31              Set or unset the persistent debugging verbosity flag  used  when
32              running updates.  This state is persistent until changed.
33
34       -q, --quiet
35              Work quietly
36
37       -q, --force
38              Forces flash even if GUID isn't in ESRT (EFI System Resource Ta‐
39              ble)
40
41       -p, --esp-path=<esp-path>
42              Directory where the ESP  (EFI  System  Partition)  is  currently
43              mounted.  By  default  the fwupdate assume the ESP is mounted in
44              /boot/efi/.
45
46       -F, --dont-use-existing-media-path
47              By default when you apply a firmware update, fwupdate check  the
48              current  EFI  firmware <guid> and recorded file path (use --info
49              to get those informations). If the current EFI  firmware  <guid>
50              is  the  same  as  the update, fwupdate will try to use the same
51              recorded file path. This can be a problem if, for  example,  you
52              want to change the ESP subdirectory[1] used by fwupdate.
53
54              This  option  makes  fwupdate  behave  as  if  there  wasn't any
55              recorded file path.
56
57       -v, --verbose
58              Be more verbose on errors
