rfkill - tool for enabling and disabling wireless devices
rfkill [options] [command] [id|type ...]
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.
- -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.
- --help
- Display help text and exit.
- --version
- Display version information and exit.
- 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 section DESCRIPTION. 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.
- 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.
