💖 fwupdagent — the firmware updating agent, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for fwupdagent, sitting under the fwupdagent man page header, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it's lowkey a glow-up moment for your firmware. let's get into it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

fwupdagent — firmware updating agent 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fwupdagent [CMD]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so fwupdagent used to be a command line fwupd client, and its whole vibe was being used by scripts. very "I'm the helper behind the scenes" energy. 🎀

but bestie, listen — you should now use the 100% compatible fwupdmgr --json command instead. it's the same thing, just the current main character. ✨

and the best part? the output is JSON and it's guaranteed to be stable. no chaotic format changes, no surprise breakage, no "why did my script explode" moments. it's giving reliable. periodt. 💅

fr fr, if you're writing scripts, go fwupdmgr --json. that's the move. no cap.

✨ EXIT STATUS ✨

commands that successfully execute will return "0". that's it, that's the whole status section. zero means slay, anything else means something went sideways. 😭

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

  • fwupdmgr(1) — the icon you should actually be calling now 🌟
  • fwupdtool(1) — the other sibling in the family 🫶

✨ BUGS ✨

no known bugs. not a single one. the code is clean, the energy is immaculate, we love to see it. 🔥
