With this formatting, "capsule-file" will get italic.

=> .RI [ options "] [" image-blob "] " capsule-file

Right?

Furthermore, I think we can describe the command syntax of the two
different cases (normal or empty capsule) more specifically.

I don't still understand why we need GUID for accept empty capsule.
We should have only one choice, whether all the new firmware be
permanently applied or completely reverted.

That's A/B update, isn't it?

Bool? but those variables are redundant.

As Ilias suggested, introducing a new enum type here can
simplify the code in the following code.
enum {
        CAPSULE_NORMAL_BLOB = 0,
        CAPSULE_ACCEPT,
        CAPSULE_REVERT,
} capsule_type;

Please rebase your patch to my v10 or later.
I have already removed the dependency on openssl library.

While I doubt the necessity of "--guid,"
why not accept "-f" or "-r" as a guid of image blob type?
(It seems that your actual code does.)

Well, the error condition looks complicated due to mixing two cases
and can be hard to maintain in the future. How about
	if (!empty_capsule &&
                ((argc != optind + 2) || !guid ||
                 ((privkey_file && !cert_file) ||
                  (!privkey_file && cert_file))) ||
            empty_capsule &&
                ((argc != optind + 1) ||
                 (accept_fw_capsule && revert_fw_capsule) ||
                 (accept_fw_capsule && !guid))  # arguable as mentioned above
                 (revert_fw_capsule && guid))
        ...

The third argument can be simplified to "accept_fw_capsule".
