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.
