<title>Generic EFI Firmware/Boot Loader Commands</title>
<para>These commands are available on any EFI system, regardless of the boot loader used.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>status</option></term>
<listitem><para>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.</para>
<para>See the example below for details of the output.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>reboot-to-firmware</option> <optional><replaceable>BOOL</replaceable></optional></term>
<listitem><para>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 <command>systemctl reboot --firmware-setup</command>, but is more low-level
and allows setting the flag independently from actually requesting a reboot.</para>
<para>Hint: use <command>systemctl reboot --firmware-setup</command> to reboot into firmware setup
once. See

<term><option>list</option></term>
<listitem><para>Shows all available boot loader entries implementing the <ulink

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>set-default</option> <replaceable>ID</replaceable></term>
<term><option>set-oneshot</option> <replaceable>ID</replaceable></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the default boot loader entry. Takes a single boot loader entry ID string or a glob
pattern as argument. The <option>set-oneshot</option> command will set the default entry only for the next boot,
the <option>set-default</option> will set it persistently for all future boots.</para>
<para><command>bootctl list</command> can be used to list available boot loader entries and their
IDs.</para>
<para>In addition, the boot loader entry ID may be specified as one of: <option>@default</option>,
<option>@oneshot</option> or <option>@current</option>, 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
<varname>LoaderEntryDefault</varname>, <varname>LoaderEntryOneShot</varname> and <varname>LoaderEntrySelected</varname>,
see <ulink url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/boot_loader_specification">Boot Loader Specification</ulink> 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.</para>
<para>If set to <option>@saved</option> the chosen entry will be saved as an EFI variable
on every boot and automatically selected the next time the boot loader starts.</para>
<para>When an empty string ("") is specified as the ID, then the corresponding EFI variable will be
unset.</para>
<para>Hint: use <command>systemctl reboot --boot-loader-entry=<replaceable>ID</replaceable></command>
to reboot into a specific boot entry and
<command>systemctl reboot --boot-loader-menu=<replaceable>timeout</replaceable></command>
to reboot into the boot loader menu once. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>set-timeout</option> <replaceable>TIMEOUT</replaceable></term>
<term><option>set-timeout-oneshot</option> <replaceable>TIMEOUT</replaceable></term>
<listitem><para>Sets the boot loader menu timeout in seconds. The <option>set-timeout-oneshot</option>
command will set the timeout only for the next boot. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details about the syntax of time spans.</para>
<para>If this is set to <option>menu-hidden</option> or <option>0</option> no menu is shown and
the default entry will be booted immediately, while setting this to <option>menu-force</option>
disables the timeout while always showing the menu. When an empty string ("") is specified the
bootloader will revert to its default menu timeout.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>random-seed</option></term>
<listitem><para>Generates a random seed and stores it in the EFI System Partition, for use by the
<command>systemd-boot</command> 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
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-boot-random-seed.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--image=<replaceable>image</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a path to a disk image file or block device node. If specified, all operations
are applied to file system in the indicated disk image. This option is similar to
<option>--root=</option>, but operates on file systems stored in disk images or block devices. The
disk image should either contain just a file system or a set of file systems within a GPT partition
table, following the <ulink url="https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification">Discoverable Partitions
Specification</ulink>. For further information on supported disk images, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s

<term><option>--install-source=</option></term>
<listitem><para>When installing binaries with <option>--root=</option> or
<option>--image=</option>, selects where to source them from. Takes one of <literal>auto</literal>
(the default), <literal>image</literal> or <literal>host</literal>. With <literal>auto</literal>
binaries will be picked from the specified directory or image, and if not found they will be picked
from the host. With <literal>image</literal> or <literal>host</literal> no fallback search will be
performed if the binaries are not found in the selected source.</para></listitem>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-x</option></term>
<term><option>--print-boot-path</option></term>
<listitem><para>This option modifies the behaviour of <command>status</command>. 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.</para>
<para>Boot Loader Specification Type #1 entries should generally be placed in the directory
<literal>$(bootctl -x)/loader/entries/</literal>. Existence of that directory may also be used as
indication that boot loader entry support is available on the system. Similarly, Boot Loader
Specification Type #2 entries should be placed in the directory <literal>$(bootctl
-x)/EFI/Linux/</literal>.</para>
<para>Note that this option (similarly to the <option>--print-booth-path</option> option mentioned
above), is available independently from the boot loader used, i.e. also without
<command>systemd-boot</command> being installed.</para></listitem>

<para>Unless set to <literal>machine-id</literal>, or when
<option>--make-entry-directory=yes</option> is used the selected token string is written to a file
<filename>/etc/kernel/entry-token</filename>, to ensure it will be used for future entries. This file
is also read by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>kernel-install</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
in order to identify under which name to generate boot loader entries for newly installed kernels, or
to determine the entry names for removing old ones.</para>
<para>Using the machine ID for naming the entries is generally preferable, however there are cases
where using the other identifiers is a good option. Specifically: if the identification data that the
machine ID entails shall not be stored on the (unencrypted) <varname>$BOOT</varname> partition, or if
the ID shall be generated on first boot and is not known when the entries are prepared. Note that
using the machine ID has the benefit that multiple parallel installations of the same OS can coexist
on the same medium, and they can update their boot loader entries independently. When using another
identifier (such as the OS ID or the OS image ID), parallel installations of the same OS would try to
use the same entry name. To support parallel installations, the installer must use a different entry
token when adding a second installation.</para></listitem>

<para>Using the default entry name <literal>Linux Boot Manager</literal> is generally preferable as only
one bootloader installed to a single ESP partition should be used to boot any number of OS installations
found on the various disks installed in the system. Specifically distributions should not use this flag
to install a branded entry in the boot option list. However in situations with multiple disks, each with
their own ESP partition, it can be beneficial to make it easier to identify the bootloader being used in
the firmware's boot option menu.</para></listitem>
