RFKILL(8)                    System Administration                   RFKILL(8)
NAME
       rfkill - tool for enabling and disabling wireless devices
SYNOPSIS
       rfkill [options] [command] [id|type ...]
DESCRIPTION
       rfkill lists, enabling and disabling wireless devices.
       The command "list" output format is deprecated and maintained for back-
       ward 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.
OPTIONS
       -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.
       -r, --raw
              Use the raw output format.
       --help Display help text and exit.
       --version
              Display version information and exit.
COMMANDS
       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 argu-
              ments 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.
EXAMPLES
       rfkill --output ID,TYPE
       rfkill block all
       rfkill unblock wlan
       rfkill block bluetooth uwb wimax wwan gps fm nfc
