18       This manual page documents briefly the fprintd command-line utilities.

21       utilities.

ARGUMENTS

24       username
25               The username for the user for which you want to query or modify
26               the fingerprint database.
27
28               Not that fprintd-list and fprintd-delete require at least one
29               username to be passed, and support multiple usernames.
30
31               fprintd-enroll and fprintd-verify will use the current username
32               if none are passed on the command-line.
33
34       -f finger
35               For fprintd-enroll, the finger to enroll. Possible values are:
36
37               left-thumb, left-index-finger, left-middle-finger, left-ring-
38               finger, left-little-finger, right-thumb, right-index-finger,
39               right-middle-finger, right-ring-finger, right-little-finger.
40
41               The default is automatic, selecting the first available finger
42               for swipe devices, or all the enrolled fingers, for press
43               devices.
