Bug description:
[Impact]
update-secureboot-policy did not include any help text.
[Test case]
- verify 'sudo update-secureboot-policy' works as expected (prompts to disable Secure Boot if it's enabled)
- verify 'sudo update-secureboot-policy --disable' works as expected (same as above)
- verify 'sudo update-secureboot-policy --enable' re-enables Secure Boot after it has been disabled (ie. after a run with --disable and a reboot)
- verify 'update-secureboot-policy --help' displays help text.
[Regression Potential]
None. The default behavior without a parameter remains to try to disable Secure Boot if it's not already disabled. --enable is documented behind a new parameter --help which displays usage information.
---
Subject says it all. Having to read the source to discover --enable
was irksome. There should probably also be an opposite explicit
--disable.
