This manual page documents briefly the fprintd command-line utilities.
The fprintd daemon is accessed through D-Bus by those command-line utilities.

The username for the user for which you want to query or modify the fingerprint database.
Not 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-finger, left-little-finger, right-thumb, right-index-finger, right-
middle-finger, right-ring-finger, right-little-finger.
The default is automatic, selecting the first available 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 enroll the user's right index finger into the database.
fprintd-enroll
Will enroll the user's right index finger into the database.
AUTHOR
