DESCRIPTION

12       fwupdmgr  is  a  command line fwupd client intended to be used interac‐
13       tively.  The terminal output between versions of fwupd is  not  guaran‐
14       teed  to  be stable, but if you plan on parsing the results then adding
15       --json might be just what you need.
16
17       There are also graphical tools to firmware available for GNOME and KDE.
18       These  applications  may be more useful to many users compared to using
19       the command line.
