NAME

6       fwupdtool — standalone firmware update utility
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fwupdtool [CMD]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This tool allows an administrator to use fwupd plugins directly without
13       using the daemon process, which may be faster or  easier  to  use  when
14       creating  or  debugging specific plugins.  For most end-users, fwupdmgr
15       is a more suitable program to use in almost all cases.
16
17       Additionally fwupdtool can be used to  convert  firmware  from  various
18       different  formats,  or  to modify the images contained inside the con‐
19       tainer firmware file.  For example, you can convert DFU  or  Intel  HEX
20       firmware into the vendor-specific format.
21

OPTIONS

23       The  fwupdtool  command  takes various options depending on the action.
24       Run fwupdtool --help for the full list.  Note that some runtimes  fail‐
25       ures can be ignored using --force.
26

EXIT STATUS

28       Commands  that successfully execute will return “0”, with generic fail‐
29       ure as “1”.
30
31       There are also several other exit codes used: A return code of  “2”  is
32       used  for commands that have no actions but were successfully executed,
33       and “3” is used when a resource was not found.
