+== NAME
+
+rfkill - tool for enabling and disabling wireless devices
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+*rfkill* [options] [_command_] [_ID_|_type_ ...]
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+*rfkill* lists, enabling and disabling wireless devices.
+
+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 *--output* 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 *--output* option together with a columns list in environments where a stable output is required.
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+*-J*, *--json*::
+Use JSON output format.
+
+*-n*, *--noheadings*::
+Do not print a header line.
+
+*-o*, *--output*::
+Specify which output columns to print. Use *--help* to get a list of available columns.
+
+*--output-all*::
+Output all available columns.
+
+*-r*, *--raw*::
+Use the raw output format.
+
+include::man-common/help-version.adoc[]
+
+== COMMANDS
+
+*help*::
+Display help text and exit.
+
+*event*::
+Listen for rfkill events and display them on stdout.
+
+*list* [__id__|__type__ ...]::
+List the current state of all available devices. The command output format is deprecated, see the *DESCRIPTION* section. It is a good idea to check with *list* command _id_ or _type_ scope is appropriate before setting *block* or *unblock*. Special _all_ type string will match everything. Use of multiple _ID_ or _type_ arguments is supported. Possible types are all, {wlan | wifi}, bluetooth, {uwb | ultrawideband}, wimax, wwan, gps, fm, nfc.
+
+**block** __id__|__type__ [...]::
+Disable the corresponding device.
+
+**unblock** __id__|__type__ [...]::
+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.
+
+**toggle** __id__|__type__ [...]::
+Enable or disable the corresponding device.
+
+== EXAMPLE
+....
+ rfkill --output ID,TYPE
+ rfkill block all
+ rfkill unblock wlan
+ rfkill block bluetooth uwb wimax wwan gps fm nfc
