.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a command line utility for management of UEFI signature lists in detached
files. That is, it's for command line generation and management of files in the
format of KEK, DB, and DBX.

Operation occurs in three phases:
.Bl -enum -compact
.It
Loading of security databases specified with
.Fl Fl input
.It
Left-to-right processing of other options, using
.Fl Fl hash-type, Fl Fl owner-guid, Fl Fl add,
and
.Fl Fl remove
as state to build selectors to add or remove hashes and certificates specified by
.Fl Fl hash
and
.Fl Fl certificate\fR.
.It
Generation of output
.El

The accumulated state is persistent; once an Owner GUID, Add or Delete
operation, or hash type are specified, they need only be present again to
change the operations that follow. Operations are added to the list to process
when
.Fl h Ar hash
or
.Fl c Ar cert
are specified, and are processed in the order they appear. Additionally,
at least one
.Fl g
argument and either
.Fl Fl add
or
.Fl Fl remove
must appear before the first use of
.Fl h Ar hash
or
.Fl c Ar cert\fR.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag
.It Ao Fl s | Fl Fl sort Ac Ao Ar all | Ar data | Ar none | Ar type Ac
Sort by data after sorting and grouping entry types, entry data, no sorting, or by entry type
.It Ao Fl s | Fl Fl sort Ac Ao Ar ascending | Ar descending Ac
Sort in ascending or descending order
.It Fl i Ar file | Fl Fl infile Ar file
Read EFI Security Database from
.Ar file
.It Fl g Ar guid | Fl Fl owner-guid Ar guid
Use the specified GUID or symbolic refrence (i.e. {empty}) for forthcoming
addition and removal operations
.It Fl a | Fl Fl add | Fl r | Fl Fl remove
Select
.Ar add
or
.Ar remove
for forthcoming operations
.It Fl t Ar hash-type | Fl Fl hash-type Ar hash-type
Select
.Ar hash-type
for forthcoming addition and removal operations
.Po
default \fIsha256\fR
.Pc

Use hash-type \fIhelp\fR to list supported hash types.
.It Fl h Ar hash | Fl Fl hash Ar hash
Add or remove the specified hash
.It Fl c Ar file | Fl Fl certificate Ar file
Add or remove the specified certificate
.It Fl d | Fl Fl dump
Produce a hex dump of the output
.It Fl A | Fl Fl annotate
Annotate the hex dump produced by
.Fl Fl dump
.It Fl o Ar file | Fl Fl outfile Ar file
Write EFI Security Database to
.Ar file
.It Fl L | Fl Fl list-guids
List the well known guids

The output is tab delimited: GUID short_name desription
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Ss Dumping the current system's \fIDBX\fP database with annotations

.Bl -bullet -compact
.It
positional exporting of certificates
.It
.Fl Fl dump
and
.Fl Fl annotate
do not adjust the output width for the terminal
.It
certificates can't be specified for removal by their \fIToBeSigned\fR hash
