| 13 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| 14 | .B mkeficapsule |
| 15 | command is used to create an EFI capsule file for use with the U-Boot |
| 16 | EFI capsule update. |
| 17 | A capsule file may contain various type of firmware blobs which |
| 18 | are to be applied to the system and must be placed in the specific |
| 19 | directory on the UEFI system partition. |
| 20 | An update will be automatically executed at next reboot. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Optionally, a capsule file can be signed with a given private key. |
| 23 | In this case, the update will be authenticated by verifying the signature |
| 24 | before applying. |
