    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>ukify</command> is a tool whose primary purpose is to combine components (usually a
    kernel, an initrd, and a UEFI boot stub) to create a
    <ulink url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/unified_kernel_image/">Unified Kernel Image (UKI)</ulink>
    — a PE binary that can be executed by the firmware to start the embedded linux kernel.
    See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-stub</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for details about the stub.</para>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Commands</title>

    <para>The following commands are understood:</para>

    <refsect2>
      <title><command>build</command></title>

      <para>This command creates a Unified Kernel Image. The two primary options that should be specified for
      the <command>build</command> verb are <varname>Linux=</varname>/<option>--linux=</option>, and
      <varname>Initrd=</varname>/<option>--initrd=</option>. <varname>Initrd=</varname> accepts multiple
      whitespace-separated paths and <option>--initrd=</option> can be specified multiple times.</para>

      <para>Additional sections will be inserted into the UKI, either automatically or only if a specific
      option is provided. See the discussions of
      <varname>Cmdline=</varname>/<option>--cmdline=</option>,
      <varname>OSRelease=</varname>/<option>--os-release=</option>,
      <varname>DeviceTree=</varname>/<option>--devicetree=</option>,
      <varname>Splash=</varname>/<option>--splash=</option>,
      <varname>PCRPKey=</varname>/<option>--pcrpkey=</option>,
      <varname>Uname=</varname>/<option>--uname=</option>,
      <varname>SBAT=</varname>/<option>--sbat=</option>,
      and <option>--section=</option>
      below.</para>

      <para><command>ukify</command> can also be used to assemble a PE binary that is not executable but
      contains auxiliary data, for example additional kernel command line entries.</para>

      <para>If PCR signing keys are provided via the
      <varname>PCRPrivateKey=</varname>/<option>--pcr-private-key=</option> and
      <varname>PCRPublicKey=</varname>/<option>--pcr-public-key=</option> options, PCR values that will be seen
      after booting with the given kernel, initrd, and other sections, will be calculated, signed, and embedded
      in the UKI.
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-measure</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> is
      used to perform this calculation and signing.</para>

      <para>The calculation of PCR values is done for specific boot phase paths. Those can be specified with
      the <varname>Phases=</varname>/<option>--phases=</option> option. If not specified, the default provided
      by <command>systemd-measure</command> is used. It is also possible to specify the
      <varname>PCRPrivateKey=</varname>/<option>--pcr-private-key=</option>,
      <varname>PCRPublicKey=</varname>/<option>--pcr-public-key=</option>, and
      <varname>Phases=</varname>/<option>--phases=</option> arguments more than once. Signatures will then be
      performed with each of the specified keys. On the command line, when both <option>--phases=</option> and
      <option>--pcr-private-key=</option> are used, they must be specified the same number of times, and then
      the n-th boot phase path set will be signed by the n-th key. This can be used to build different trust
      policies for different phases of the boot. In the config file, <varname>PCRPrivateKey=</varname>,
      <varname>PCRPublicKey=</varname>, and <varname>Phases=</varname> are grouped into separate sections,
      describing separate boot phases.</para>

      <para>If a SecureBoot signing key is provided via the
      <varname>SecureBootPrivateKey=</varname>/<option>--secureboot-private-key=</option> option, the resulting
      PE binary will be signed as a whole, allowing the resulting UKI to be trusted by SecureBoot. Also see the
      discussion of automatic enrollment in
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
      </para>

      <para>If the stub and/or the kernel contain <literal>.sbat</literal> sections they will be merged in
      the UKI so that revocation updates affecting either are considered when the UKI is loaded by Shim. For
      more information on SBAT see
      <ulink url="https://github.com/rhboot/shim/blob/main/SBAT.md">Shim documentation</ulink>.
      </para>
    </refsect2>

    <refsect2>
      <title><command>genkey</command></title>

      <para>This command creates the keys for PCR signing and the key and certificate used for SecureBoot
      signing. The same configuration options that determine what keys and in which paths will be needed for
      signing when <command>build</command> is used, here determine which keys will be created. See the
      discussion of <varname>PCRPrivateKey=</varname>/<option>--pcr-private-key=</option>,
      <varname>PCRPublicKey=</varname>/<option>--pcr-public-key=</option>, and
      <varname>SecureBootPrivateKey=</varname>/<option>--secureboot-private-key=</option> below.</para>

      <para>The output files must not exist.</para>
    </refsect2>

    <refsect2>
      <title><command>inspect</command></title>

      <para>Display information about the sections in a given binary or binaries.
      If <option>--all</option> is given, all sections are shown.
      Otherwise, if <option>--section=</option> option is specified at least once, only those sections are shown.
      Otherwise, well-known sections that are typically included in an UKI are shown.
      For each section, its name, size, and sha256-digest is printed.
      For text sections, the contents are printed.</para>

      <para>Also see the description of <option>-j</option>/<option>--json=</option> and
      <option>--section=</option>.</para>
    </refsect2>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Configuration settings</title>

    <para>Settings can appear in configuration files (the syntax with <varname
    index='false'>SomeSetting=<replaceable>value</replaceable></varname>) and on the command line (the syntax
    with <option index='false'>--some-setting=<replaceable>value</replaceable></option>). For some command
    line parameters, a single-letter shortcut is also allowed. In the configuration files, the setting must
    be in the appropriate section, so the descriptions are grouped by section below. When the same setting
    appears in the configuration file and on the command line, generally the command line setting has higher
    priority and overwrites the config file setting completely. If some setting behaves differently, this is
    described below.</para>

    <para>If no config file is provided via the option <option>--config=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option>,
    <command>ukify</command> will try to look for a default configuration file in the following paths in this
    order: <filename>/run/systemd/ukify.conf</filename>, <filename>/etc/systemd/ukify.conf</filename>,
    <filename>/usr/local/lib/systemd/ukify.conf</filename>, and <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/ukify.conf</filename>,
    and then load the first one found. <command>ukify</command> will proceed normally if no configuration file
    is specified and no default one is found.</para>

    <para>The <replaceable>LINUX</replaceable> and <replaceable>INITRD</replaceable> positional arguments, or
    the equivalent <varname>Linux=</varname> and <varname>Initrd=</varname> settings, are optional. If more
    than one initrd is specified, they will all be combined into a single PE section. This is useful to, for
    example, prepend microcode before the actual initrd.</para>

    <para>The following options and settings are understood:</para>

          descriptions of individual options.</para>

      <para>First, let's create an config file that specifies what signatures shall be made:</para>

<xi:include href="uki.conf.example" parse="text" />EOF</programlisting>

      <para>Next, we can generate the certificate and keys:</para>
      <programlisting># ukify genkey --config=/etc/kernel/uki.conf
Writing SecureBoot private key to /etc/kernel/secure-boot.key.pem
Writing SecureBoot certificate to /etc/kernel/secure-boot.cert.pem
Writing private key for PCR signing to /etc/kernel/pcr-initrd.key.pem
Writing public key for PCR signing to /etc/kernel/pcr-initrd.pub.pem
Writing private key for PCR signing to /etc/kernel/pcr-system.key.pem
Writing public key for PCR signing to /etc/kernel/pcr-system.pub.pem
</programlisting>

      <para>(Both operations need to be done as root to allow write access
      to <filename>/etc/kernel/</filename>.)</para>

      <para>Subsequent invocations using the config file
      (<command>ukify build --config=/etc/kernel/uki.conf</command>)
      will use this certificate and key files. Note that the
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>kernel-install</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
      plugin <filename>60-ukify.install</filename> uses <filename>/etc/kernel/uki.conf</filename>
      by default, so after this file has been created, installations of kernels that create a UKI on the
      local machine using <command>kernel-install</command> will perform signing using this config.</para>
