Public bug reported: The basic functionality of the fw tools should be described to an understandable level in normal man level terms. It should not be necessary to subsequently run the fw tools with any kind of help parameters in order to figure out how they work.
Please see to it the man documentation of the fw tools for firmware updates contain the necessary information to use the tool without any experimentation with the tool itself.
