BOOTCTL(1)                                   bootctl                                   BOOTCTL(1)

NAME
       bootctl - Control EFI firmware boot settings and manage boot loader

SYNOPSIS
       bootctl [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND}

DESCRIPTION
       bootctl can check the EFI firmware and boot loader status, list and manage available boot
       loaders and boot loader entries, and install, update, or remove the systemd-boot(7) boot
       loader on the current system.

GENERIC EFI FIRMWARE/BOOT LOADER COMMANDS
       These commands are available on any EFI system, regardless of the boot loader used.

       status
           Shows brief information about the system firmware, the boot loader that was used to
           boot the system, the boot loaders currently available in the ESP, the boot loaders
           listed in the firmware's list of boot loaders and the current default boot loader
           entry. If no command is specified, this is the implied default.

       reboot-to-firmware [BOOL]
           Query or set the "Reboot-Into-Firmware-Setup" flag of the EFI firmware. Takes a
           boolean argument which controls whether to show the firmware setup on next system
           reboot. If the argument is omitted shows the current status of the flag, or whether
           the flag is supported. This controls the same flag as systemctl reboot
           --firmware-setup, but is more low-level and allows setting the flag independently from
           actually requesting a reboot.

       systemd-efi-options [STRING]
           When called without the optional argument, prints the current value of the
           "SystemdOptions" EFI variable. When called with an argument, sets the variable to that
           value. See systemd(1) for the meaning of that variable.

BOOT LOADER SPECIFICATION COMMANDS
       These commands are available for all boot loaders that implement the Boot Loader
       Specification[1] and/or the Boot Loader Interface[2], such as systemd-boot.

       list
           Shows all available boot loader entries implementing the Boot Loader Specification[1],
           as well as any other entries discovered or automatically generated by a boot loader
           implementing the Boot Loader Interface[2].

       set-default ID, set-oneshot ID
           Sets the default boot loader entry. Takes a single boot loader entry ID string as
           argument. The set-oneshot command will set the default entry only for the next boot,
           the set-default will set it persistently for all future boots.  Optionally, the boot
           loader entry ID may be specified as one of: @default, @oneshot or @current, which
           correspond to the current default boot loader entry for all future boots, the current
           default boot loader entry for the next boot, and the currently booted boot loader
           entry. These special IDs are resolved to the current values of the EFI variables
           LoaderEntryDefault, LoaderEntryOneShot and LoaderEntrySelected, see Boot Loader
           Specification[1] for details. These special IDs are primarily useful as a quick way to
           persistently make the currently booted boot loader entry the default choice, or to
           upgrade the default boot loader entry for the next boot to the default boot loader
           entry for all future boots, but may be used for other operations too. When an empty
           string ("") is specified as an ID, then the corresponding EFI variable will be unset.

SYSTEMD-BOOT COMMANDS
       These commands manage the systemd-boot EFI boot loader, and do not work in conjunction
       with other boot loaders.

       install
           Installs systemd-boot into the EFI system partition. A copy of systemd-boot will be
           stored as the EFI default/fallback loader at ESP/EFI/BOOT/BOOT*.EFI. The boot loader
           is then added to the top of the firmware's boot loader list.

       update
           Updates all installed versions of systemd-boot(7), if the available version is newer
           than the version installed in the EFI system partition. This also includes the EFI
           default/fallback loader at ESP/EFI/BOOT/BOOT*.EFI. The boot loader is then added to
           end of the firmware's boot loader list if missing.

       remove
           Removes all installed versions of systemd-boot from the EFI system partition and the
           firmware's boot loader list.

       is-installed
           Checks whether systemd-boot is installed in the ESP. Note that a single ESP might host
           multiple boot loaders; this hence checks whether systemd-boot is one (of possibly
           many) installed boot loaders -- and neither whether it is the default nor whether it
           is registered in any EFI variables.

       random-seed
           Generates a random seed and stores it in the EFI System Partition, for use by the
           systemd-boot boot loader. Also, generates a random 'system token' and stores it
           persistently as an EFI variable, if one has not been set before. If the boot loader
           finds the random seed in the ESP and the system token in the EFI variable it will
           derive a random seed to pass to the OS and a new seed to store in the ESP from the
           combination of both. The random seed passed to the OS is credited to the kernel's
           entropy pool by the system manager during early boot, and permits userspace to boot up
           with an entropy pool fully initialized very early on. Also see systemd-boot-system-
           token.service(8).

           See Random Seeds[3] for further information.

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

       --esp-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 /efi/, if
           possible.

       --boot-path=
           Path to the Extended Boot Loader partition, as defined in the Boot Loader
           Specification[1]. If not specified, /boot/ is checked. It is recommended to mount the
           Extended Boot Loader partition to /boot/, if possible.

       -p, --print-esp-path
           This option modifies the behaviour of status. Only prints the path to the EFI System
           Partition (ESP) to standard output and exits.

       -x, --print-boot-path
           This option modifies the behaviour of status. Only prints the path to the Extended
           Boot Loader partition if it exists, and the path to the ESP otherwise to standard
           output and exit. This command is useful to determine where to place boot loader
           entries, as they are preferably placed in the Extended Boot Loader partition if it
           exists and in the ESP otherwise.

           Boot Loader Specification Type #1 entries should generally be placed in the directory
           "$(bootctl -x)/loader/entries/". Existence of that directory may also be used as
           indication that boot loader entry support is available on the system. Similarly, Boot
           Loader Specification Type #2 entries should be placed in the directory "$(bootctl
           -x)/EFI/Linux/".

           Note that this option (similar to the --print-booth-path option mentioned above), is
           available independently from the boot loader used, i.e. also without systemd-boot
           being installed.

       --no-variables
           Do not touch the firmware's boot loader list stored in EFI variables.

       --graceful
           Ignore failure when the EFI System Partition cannot be found, or when EFI variables
           cannot be written. Currently only applies to random seed operations.

       --make-machine-id-directory=yes|no|auto
           Control creation and deletion of the top-level machine ID directory on the file system
           containing boot loader entries (i.e. beneath the file system returned by the
           --print-boot-path option, see above) during install and remove, respectively.  "auto"
           is equivalent to "yes" if /etc/machine-id resides on a filesystem other than tmpfs and
           "no" otherwise (in the latter case the machine ID is likely transient and hence should
           not be used persistently in the ESP). Defaults to "auto". See machine-id(5) for
           details about the machine ID concept and file.

           Overriding this may be desirable to hide the machine ID from the (unencrypted) ESP,
           configure a kernel-install(8) script, or, conversely, commit a transient machine ID.

           The top-level machine ID directory is useful to allow smooth multi-boot installations:
           each installed OS instance will have a different machine ID and thus a separate
           directory to place its boot-time resources in. If this feature is turned off with this
           option, care needs to be taken that multiple OS instances do not place conflicting
           files on the shared ESP and Extended Boot Loader Partitions, or that multiple OS
           instances are not possible.

       --no-pager
           Do not pipe output into a pager.

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

       --version
           Print a short version string and exit.

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

ENVIRONMENT
       If $SYSTEMD_RELAX_ESP_CHECKS=1 is set the validation checks for the ESP are relaxed, and
       the path specified with --esp-path= may refer to any kind of file system on any kind of
       partition.

       Similarly, $SYSTEMD_RELAX_XBOOTLDR_CHECKS=1 turns off some validation checks for the
       Extended Boot Loader partition.
