While it is intended to become a regular component of systemd, it might still change in behaviour and interface\&. .PP \fBukify\fR is a tool whose primary purpose is to combine components (usually a kernel, an initrd, and a UEFI boot stub) to create a \m[blue]\fBUnified Kernel Image (UKI)\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2 \(em a PE binary that can be executed by the firmware to start the embedded linux kernel\&. See \fBsystemd-stub\fR(7) for details about the stub\&. .SH "COMMANDS" .PP The following commands are understood: .SS "build" .PP This command creates a Unified Kernel Image\&. The two primary options that should be specified for the \fBbuild\fR verb are \fILinux=\fR/\fB\-\-linux=\fR, and \fIInitrd=\fR/\fB\-\-initrd=\fR\&. \fIInitrd=\fR accepts multiple whitespace\-separated paths and \fB\-\-initrd=\fR can be specified multiple times\&. .PP Additional sections will be inserted into the UKI, either automatically or only if a specific option is provided\&. See the discussions of \fICmdline=\fR/\fB\-\-cmdline=\fR, \fIOSRelease=\fR/\fB\-\-os\-release=\fR, \fIDeviceTree=\fR/\fB\-\-devicetree=\fR, \fISplash=\fR/\fB\-\-splash=\fR, \fIPCRPKey=\fR/\fB\-\-pcrpkey=\fR, \fIUname=\fR/\fB\-\-uname=\fR, \fISBAT=\fR/\fB\-\-sbat=\fR, and \fB\-\-section=\fR below\&. .PP \fBukify\fR can also be used to assemble a PE binary that is not executable but contains auxiliary data, for example additional kernel command line entries\&. .PP If PCR signing keys are provided via the \fIPCRPrivateKey=\fR/\fB\-\-pcr\-private\-key=\fR and \fIPCRPublicKey=\fR/\fB\-\-pcr\-public\-key=\fR 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\&. \fBsystemd-measure\fR(1) is used to perform this calculation and signing\&. .PP The calculation of PCR values is done for specific boot phase paths\&. Those can be specified with the \fIPhases=\fR/\fB\-\-phases=\fR option\&. If not specified, the default provided by \fBsystemd\-measure\fR is used\&. It is also possible to specify the \fIPCRPrivateKey=\fR/\fB\-\-pcr\-private\-key=\fR, \fIPCRPublicKey=\fR/\fB\-\-pcr\-public\-key=\fR, and \fIPhases=\fR/\fB\-\-phases=\fR arguments more than once\&. Signatures will then be performed with each of the specified keys\&. On the command line, when both \fB\-\-phases=\fR and \fB\-\-pcr\-private\-key=\fR 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\&. In the config file, \fIPCRPrivateKey=\fR, \fIPCRPublicKey=\fR, and \fIPhases=\fR are grouped into separate sections, describing separate boot phases\&. .PP If a SecureBoot signing key is provided via the \fISecureBootPrivateKey=\fR/\fB\-\-secureboot\-private\-key=\fR 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 \fBsystemd-boot\fR(7)\&. .PP If the stub and/or the kernel contain "\&.sbat" sections they will be merged in the UKI so that revocation updates affecting either are considered when the UKI is loaded by Shim\&. For more information on SBAT see \m[blue]\fBShim\*(Aqs documentation\&.\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2 .SS "genkey" .PP This command creates the keys for PCR signing and the key and certificate used for SecureBoot signing\&. The same configuration options that determine what keys and in which paths will be needed for signing when \fBbuild\fR is used, here determine which keys will be created\&. See the discussion of \fIPCRPrivateKey=\fR/\fB\-\-pcr\-private\-key=\fR, \fIPCRPublicKey=\fR/\fB\-\-pcr\-public\-key=\fR, and \fISecureBootPrivateKey=\fR/\fB\-\-secureboot\-private\-key=\fR below\&. .PP The output files must not exist\&. .SH "CONFIGURATION SETTINGS" .PP Settings can appear in configuration files (the syntax with \fISomeSetting=\fR\fI\fIvalue\fR\fR) and on the command line (the syntax with \fB\-\-some\-setting=\fR\fB\fIvalue\fR\fR)\&. For some command line parameters, a single\-letter shortcut is also allowed\&. In the configuration files, the setting must be in the appropriate section, so the descriptions are grouped by section below\&. When the same setting appears in the configuration file and on the command line, generally the command line setting has higher priority and overwrites the config file setting completely\&. If some setting behaves differently, this is described below\&. .PP The \fILINUX\fR and \fIINITRD\fR positional arguments, or the equivalent \fILinux=\fR and \fIInitrd=\fR settings, are optional\&. If more than one initrd is specified, they will all be combined into a single PE section\&. This is useful to, for example, prepend microcode before the actual initrd\&. .PP The following options and settings are understood: .SS "Commandline\-only options" .PP \fB\-\-config=\fR\fB\fIPATH\fR\fR .RS 4 Load configuration from the given config file\&. In general, settings specified in the config file have lower precedence than the settings specified via options\&. In cases where the commandline option does not fully override the config file setting are explicitly mentioned in the descriptions of individual options\&. .RE .PP \fB\-\-measure\fR, \fB\-\-no\-measure\fR .RS 4 Enable or disable a call to \fBsystemd-measure\fR(1) to print pre\-calculated PCR values\&. Defaults to false\&. .RE .PP \fB\-\-section=\fR\fB\fINAME\fR\fR\fB:\fR\fB\fITEXT\fR\fR\fB|\fR\fB\fI@PATH\fR\fR .RS 4 Specify an arbitrary additional section "\fINAME\fR"\&. Note that the name is used as\-is, and if the section name should start with a dot, it must be included in \fINAME\fR\&. The argument may be a literal string, or "@" followed by a path name\&. This option may be specified more than once\&. Any sections specified in this fashion will be inserted (in order) before the "\&.linux" section which is always last\&. .RE .PP \fB\-\-tools=\fR\fB\fIDIRS\fR\fR .RS 4 Specify one or more directories with helper tools\&. \fBukify\fR will look for helper tools in those directories first, and if not found, try to load them from \fI$PATH\fR in the usual fashion\&. .RE .PP \fB\-\-output=\fR\fB\fIFILENAME\fR\fR .RS 4 The output filename\&.
