NAME
     fprintd - Fingerprint management daemon, and test applications

SYNOPSIS
     fprintd-enroll [-f finger] [usename]

     fprintd-list username [usernames...]

     fprintd-verify [-f finger] [usename]

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents briefly the fprintd command-line utilities.

     The fprintd daemon is accessed through D-Bus by those command-line utili-
     ties.

ARGUMENTS
     usernameThe username for the user for which you want to query or modify the
	     fingerprint database.

	     Note that fprintd-list and fprintd-delete require at least one
	     username to be passed, and support multiple usernames.

	     fprintd-enroll and fprintd-verify will use the current username if
	     none are passed on the command-line.

     -f finger
	     For fprintd-enroll, the finger to enroll. Possible values are:

	     left-thumb, left-index-finger, left-middle-finger, left-ring-fin-
	     ger, left-little-finger, right-thumb, right-index-finger,
	     right-middle-finger, right-ring-finger, right-little-finger.

	     The default is to choose automatically, selecting the first avail-
	     able finger for swipe devices, or all the enrolled fingers, for
	     press devices.

TEST APPLICATIONS
   fprintd-enroll
	     Will enroll the user's right index finger into the database.

   fprintd-list
	     Will list the user's enrolled fingerprints.

   fprintd-verify
	     Will verify the user's fingerprints against the database.

   fprintd-delete
	     Will delete the user's right index finger into the database.
