SYNOPSIS

       gummiboot [OPTIONS...]status

       gummiboot [OPTIONS...]update

       gummiboot [OPTIONS...]install

       gummiboot [OPTIONS...]remove

DESCRIPTION

       gummiboot checks, updates, installs or removes the boot loader from the current system.

       gummiboot status checks and prints the currently installed versions of the boot loader
       binaries and the all current EFI boot variables.

       gummiboot update updates all installed versions of gummiboot, if the current version is
       newer than the version installed in the EFI system partition. This also includes the EFI
       default/fallback loader at /EFI/Boot/boot*.efi. An gummiboot entry in the EFI boot
       variables is created, if there is no current entry. A created entry will be added to the
       end of the boot order list.

       gummiboot install installs gummiboot into the EFI system partition. A copy of gummiboot
       will be stored as the EFI default/fallback loader at /EFI/Boot/boot*.efi. An gummiboot
       entry in the EFI boot variables is created and added to the top of the boot order list.

       gummiboot remove removes all installed versions of gummiboot from the EFI system
       partition, and removes gummiboot from the EFI boot variables.

       If no command is passed status is implied.

       -h, --help
           Prints a short help text and exits.

       --no-variables
           Do not touch the EFI boot variables.

EXIT STATUS

       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
