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 runtime failures can be ignored using --force.

🚪 EXIT CODES
