BOOTCTL(1)			    bootctl			    BOOTCTL(1)

NAME
       bootctl - Control the firmware and boot manager settings

SYNOPSIS
       bootctl [OPTIONS...] status

       bootctl [OPTIONS...] list

       bootctl [OPTIONS...] update

       bootctl [OPTIONS...] install

       bootctl [OPTIONS...] remove

DESCRIPTION
       bootctl checks, updates, installs or removes the boot loader from the
       current system.

       bootctl status checks and prints the currently installed versions of
       the boot loader binaries and all current EFI boot variables.

       bootctl list displays all configured boot loader entries.

       bootctl update updates all installed versions of systemd-boot, if the
       current version is newer than the version installed in the EFI system
       partition. This also includes the EFI default/fallback loader at
       /EFI/BOOT/BOOT*.EFI. A systemd-boot entry in the EFI boot variables is
       created if there is no current entry. The created entry will be added
       to the end of the boot order list.

       bootctl install installs systemd-boot into the EFI system partition. A
       copy of systemd-boot will be stored as the EFI default/fallback loader
       at /EFI/BOOT/BOOT*.EFI. A systemd-boot entry in the EFI boot variables
       is created and added to the top of the boot order list.

       bootctl remove removes all installed versions of systemd-boot from the
       EFI system partition, and removes systemd-boot from the EFI boot
       variables.

       If no command is passed, status is implied.

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print a short version string and exit.

       --path=
	   Path to the EFI System Partition (ESP). If not specified, /efi,
	   /boot, and /boot/efi are checked in turn. It is recommended to
	   mount the ESP to /boot, if possible.

       -p, --print-path
	   This option modifies the behaviour of status. Just print the path
	   to the EFI System Partition (ESP) to standard output and exit.

       --no-variables
	   Do not touch the EFI boot variables.

EXIT STATUS
       On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
