       inventory_firmware - detect versions of firmware installed in hardware

SYNOPSIS

       inventory_firmware [-h | --help] [-c config-file ] [-o | --over section,key,value ] [ -u |
       --up2date_mode ] [ -a | --apt_mode ] [ -v | --verbose ]

DESCRIPTION

       inventory_firmware scans hardware, and emits human-readable names for firmwares  installed
       in that hardware.

OPTIONS

       -h     Print help text

       -c config-file
              Use the alternate system wide config-file instead of /etc/firmware/firmware.conf

       -o | --over section,key,value
              Override values in firmware.conf with new values as section, key, and value.

       -b | --bootstrap
              Output  results same as bootstrap_firmware.  All command line options are passed to
              bootstrap_firmware.  You should  use  bootstrap_firmware  directly  instead.   This
              option is provided for historical backwards compatibility only.

       -u | --up2date_mode
              Generate tags suitable for consumption by Red Hat Network's up2date program.

       -a | --apt_mode
              Generate tags suitable for consumption by Debian's aptitude program.

       -v | --verbose
