The new output format is the default when no command is +specified or when the option \fB\-\-output\fR is used. + +The default output is subject to change. So whenever possible, you should +avoid using default outputs in your scripts. Always explicitly define expected +columns by using the \fB\-\-output\fR option together with a columns list in +environments where a stable output is required. + + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-J\fR, \fB\-\-json\fR +Use JSON output format. +.TP +\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-noheadings\fR +Do not print a header line. +.TP +\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR +Specify which output columns to print.

Use of multiple +.IR id " or " type +arguments is supported. +.TP +\fBblock \fBid\fR|\fBtype\fR [...] +Disable the corresponding device. +.TP +\fBunblock \fBid\fR|\fBtype\fR [...] +Enable the corresponding device. If the device is hard\-blocked, for example +via a hardware switch, it will remain unavailable though it is now +soft\-unblocked. +.SH EXAMPLES +rfkill --output ID,TYPE +.br +rfkill block all +.br +rfkill unblock wlan +.br +rfkill block bluetooth uwb wimax wwan gps fm nfc +.SH AUTHORS +.B rfkill +was originally written by +.MT johannes@\:sipsolutions.\:net +Johannes Berg +.ME +and +.MT marcel@\:holtmann.\:org +Marcel Holtmann +.ME . +The code has been later modified by +.MT kerolasa@\:iki.\:fi +Sami Kerola +.ME +and +.MT kzak@\:redhat.\:com +Karel Zak +.ME +for util-linux project. +.PP +This manual page was written by +.MT linux@\:youmustbejoking.\:demon.\:co.uk +Darren Salt +.ME , +for the Debian project (and may be used by others). +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR powertop (8), +.BR systemd-rfkill (8), +.UR https://\:git.\:kernel.\:org/\:pub/\:scm/\:linux/\:kernel/\:git/\:torvalds/\:linux.git/\:tree/\:Documentation/\:rfkill.txt +Linux kernel documentation +.UE +.SH AVAILABILITY +The rfkill command is part of the util\-linux package and is available from +.UR https://\:www.kernel.org\:/pub\:/linux\:/utils\:/util\-linux/ +Linux Kernel Archive +.UE . |
