fprintd - Fingerprint management daemon, and test applications

Arguments

username
               The username for the user for which you want to query or modify the fingerprint database.

               Note that fprintd-list and fprintd-delete require at least one username to be passed, and support
               multiple usernames.

               fprintd-enroll  and  fprintd-verify  will  use  the  current  username  if none are passed on the
               command-line.

       -ffinger
               For fprintd-enroll, the finger to enroll. Possible values are:

               left-thumb, left-index-finger, left-middle-finger, left-ring-finger,  left-little-finger,  right-
               thumb, right-index-finger, right-middle-finger, right-ring-finger, right-little-finger.

               The  default  is to choose automatically, selecting the first available finger for swipe devices,
               or all the enrolled fingers, for press devices.
