fwupdmgr — firmware update manager client utility

Bugs

       See GitHub Issues: <https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues>

Description

fwupdmgr  is  a command line fwupd client intended to be used interactively.  The terminal output between
       versions of fwupd is not guaranteed to be stable, but if you plan on  parsing  the  results  then  adding
       --json might be just what you need.

       There  are  also  graphical tools to firmware available for various desktop environments.  These applica‐
       tions may be more useful to many users compared to using the command line.

       On most systems fwupd is  configured  to  download  metadata  from  the  Linux  Vendor  Firmware  Service
       <https://fwupd.org/>  and  more  information  about  the LVFS is available here: <https://lvfs.readthedo‐
       cs.io/>

       Most users who want to just update all devices to the latest versions can do fwupdmgrrefresh  and  then
       fwupdmgrupdate.   At  this  point the system will asking for confirmation, update some devices, and may
       then reboot to deploy updates that require a restart.

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 ac‐
       tions but were successfully executed, and “3” is used when a resource was not found.
