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.
