+
+ <para>Note: this command is experimental for now. While it is intended to become a regular component of
+ systemd, it might still change in behaviour and interface.</para>
+
+ <para><command>ukify</command> is a tool that combines a kernel and an initrd with
+ a UEFI boot stub to create a
+ <ulink url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/unified_kernel_image/">Unified Kernel Image (UKI)</ulink>
+ — a PE binary that can be executed by the firmware to start the embedded linux kernel.
+ See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-stub</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details about the stub.</para>
+
+ <para>Additional sections will be inserted into the UKI, either automatically or only if a specific
+ option is provided. See the discussions of
+ <option>--cmdline=</option>,
+ <option>--os-release=</option>,
+ <option>--devicetree=</option>,
+ <option>--splash=</option>,
+ <option>--pcrpkey=</option>,
+ <option>--uname=</option>,
+ and <option>--section=</option>
+ below.</para>
+
+ <para>If PCR signing keys are provided via the <option>--pcr-public-key=</option> and
+ <option>--pcr-private-key=</option> options, PCR values that will be seen after booting with the given
+ kernel, initrd, and other sections, will be calculated, signed, and embedded in the UKI.
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-measure</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> is
+ used to perform this calculation and signing.</para>
+
+ <para>The calculation of PCR values is done for specific boot phase paths. Those can be specified with
+ <option>--phases=</option> option. If not specified, the default provided by
+ <command>systemd-measure</command> is used. It is also possible to specify the
+ <option>--pcr-private-key=</option>, <option>--pcr-public-key=</option>, and <option>--phases=</option>
+ arguments more than once. Signatures will be then performed with each of the specified keys. When both
+ <option>--phases=</option> and <option>--pcr-private-key=</option> are used, they must be specified the
+ same number of times, and then the n-th boot phase path set will be signed by the n-th key. This can be
+ used to build different trust policies for different phases of the boot.</para>
+
+ <para>If a SecureBoot signing key is provided via the <option>--secureboot-private-key=</option> option,
+ the resulting PE binary will be signed as a whole, allowing the resulting UKI to be trusted by
+ SecureBoot. Also see the discussion of automatic enrollment in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
