     1.4 +Rfkill is a small userspace tool to query the state of the rfkill switches,
     1.5 +buttons and subsystem interfaces.
     1.6 +Some devices come with a hard switch that lets you kill different types of
     1.7 +RF radios: 802.11, Bluetooth, NFC, UWB, WAN, WIMAX, FM.
     1.8 +Some times these buttons may kill more than one RF type.
     1.9 +The Linux kernel rfkill subsystem exposes these hardware buttons and lets
    1.10 +userspace query its status and set its status through a /dev/rfkill.
    1.11 +Given that at times some RF devices do not have hardware rfkill buttons
    1.12 +rfkill the Linux kernel also exposes software rfkill capabilities that
    1.13 +allows userspace to mimic a hardware rfkill event and turn on or off RF.
