NAME
       fwupdtool - standalone firmware update utility

SYNOPSIS
       fwupdtool [CMD]

DESCRIPTION
       This  tool  allows  an  administrator  to use fwupd plugins directly without using the daemon
       process, which may be faster or easier to use when creating or  debugging  specific  plugins.
       For most end-users, fwupdmgr is a more suitable program to use in almost all cases.

       Additionally  fwupdtool can be used to convert firmware from various different formats, or to
       modify the images contained inside the container firmware file.  For example, you can convert
       DFU or Intel HEX firmware into the vendor-specific format.

OPTIONS
       The fwupdtool command takes various options depending on the action.   Run  fwupdtool  --help
       for the full list.  Note that some runtimes failures can be ignored using --force.

EXIT STATUS
       Commands that successfully execute will return “0”, with generic failure as “1”.

       There  are also several other exit codes used: A return code of “2” is used for commands that
       have no actions but were successfully executed, and “3” is  used  when  a  resource  was  not
       found.
