.SH "NAME"
rfkill \- tool for enabling and disabling wireless devices
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBrfkill\fP [options] [\fIcommand\fP] [\fIID\fP|\fItype\fP ...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBrfkill\fP lists, enabling and disabling wireless devices.
.sp
The command "list" output format is deprecated and maintained for backward compatibility only. The new output format is the default when no command is specified or when the option \fB\-\-output\fP is used.
.sp
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\fP option together with a columns list in environments where a stable output is required.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.sp
\fB\-J\fP, \fB\-\-json\fP
.RS 4
Use JSON output format.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-n\fP, \fB\-\-noheadings\fP
.RS 4
Do not print a header line.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-o\fP, \fB\-\-output\fP
.RS 4
Specify which output columns to print. Use \fB\-\-help\fP to get a list of available columns.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-\-output\-all\fP
.RS 4
Output all available columns.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-r\fP, \fB\-\-raw\fP
.RS 4
Use the raw output format.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP
.RS 4
Display help text and exit.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP
.RS 4
Print version and exit.
.RE
.SH "COMMANDS"
.sp
\fBhelp\fP
.RS 4
Display help text and exit.
.RE
.sp
\fBevent\fP
.RS 4
Listen for rfkill events and display them on stdout.
.RE
.sp
\fBlist\fP [\fIid\fP|\fItype\fP ...]
.RS 4
List the current state of all available devices. The command output format is deprecated, see the \fBDESCRIPTION\fP section. It is a good idea to check with \fBlist\fP command \fIid\fP or \fItype\fP scope is appropriate before setting \fBblock\fP or \fBunblock\fP. Special \fIall\fP type string will match everything. Use of multiple \fIID\fP or \fItype\fP arguments is supported.
.RE
.sp
\fBblock\fP \fIid\fP|\fItype\fP [...]
.RS 4
Disable the corresponding device.
.RE
.sp
\fBunblock\fP \fIid\fP|\fItype\fP [...]
.RS 4
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.
.RE
.sp
\fBtoggle\fP \fIid\fP|\fItype\fP [...]
.RS 4
Enable or disable the corresponding device.
