<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>rfkill</B>
lists, enabling and disabling wireless devices.
<P>
The command &quot;list&quot; 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 <B>--output</B> is used.
<P>
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 <B>--output</B> option together with a columns list in
environments where a stable output is required.

<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="8"><B>help</B>
<DD>
Display help text and exit.
<DT id="9"><B>event</B>
<DD>
Listen for rfkill events and display them on stdout.
<DT id="10"><B>list </B>[<I>id</I>|<I>type</I> ...]<DD>
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
<B>list</B>
command
<I>id</I> or <I>type</I>
scope is appropriate before setting
<B>block</B> or <B>unblock</B>.
Special
<I>all</I>
type string will match everything. Use of multiple
<I>id</I> or <I>type</I>
arguments is supported.
<DT id="11"><B>block id</B>|<B>type</B> [...]<DD>
Disable the corresponding device.
<DT id="12"><B>unblock id</B>|<B>type</B> [...]<DD>
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.
