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 pro‐
       gram to use in almost all cases.

       Additionally fwupdtool can be used to convert firmware from various different formats, or to modify the	images	con‐
       tained  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.
