+Dumping capsule headers
+***********************
+
+The mkeficapsule tool also provides a command-line option to dump the
+contents of the capsule header. This is a useful functionality when
+trying to understand the structure of a capsule and is also used in
+capsule verification. This feature is used in testing the capsule
+contents in binman's test framework.
+
+To check the contents of the capsule headers, the mkeficapsule command
+can be used.

+.. code-block:: console

+ $ mkeficapsule --dump-capsule \
