tpm2_pcrevent(1)	    General Commands Manual	      tpm2_pcrevent(1)

NAME
       tpm2_pcrevent(1)	- Hashes a file	and optionally extends a pcr.

SYNOPSIS
       tpm2_pcrevent [OPTIONS] FILE PCR_INDEX

DESCRIPTION
       tpm2_pcrevent(1)	 -  Hashes FILE	if specified or	stdin.	It uses	all of
       the hashing algorithms that the TPM supports.

       Optionally, if a	PCR index is specified,	it extends that	 PCR  for  all
       supported  algorithms with the hash digest.  FILE and _PCR_INDEX_ argu-
       ments don't need	to come	in any particular order.

       In either case, it outputs to stdout the	hash algorithm	used  and  the
       digest value, one per line:

       alg:digest

       Where  alg  is  the algorithm used (like	sha1) and digest is the	digest
       resulting from the hash computation of alg on the data.

       See  sections  23.1  and	 sections  17  of  the	TPM2.0	 Specification
       (https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TPM-
       Rev-2.0-Part-3-Commands-01.38.pdf)

OPTIONS
       These options control extending the pcr:

        -P, --auth=AUTH:

	 Specifies the authorization value for PCR.

        --cphash=FILE

	 File path to record the hash of the command parameters.  This is com-
	 monly termed as cpHash.  NOTE:	When this option is selected, The tool
	 will not actually execute the command,	it simply returns a cpHash.

COMMON OPTIONS
       This  collection	of options are common to many programs and provide in-
       formation that many users may expect.

        -h, --help=[man|no-man]: Display the tools manpage.  By  default,  it
	 attempts  to  invoke  the  manpager for the tool, however, on failure
	 will output a short tool summary.  This is the	same behavior  if  the
	 "man"	option argument	is specified, however if explicit "man"	is re-
	 quested, the tool will	provide	errors from man	 on  stderr.   If  the
	 "no-man"  option  if  specified, or the manpager fails, the short op-
	 tions will be output to stdout.

	 To successfully use the manpages feature requires the manpages	to  be
	 installed or on MANPATH, See man(1) for more details.

        -v,  --version:  Display version information for this tool, supported
	 tctis and exit.

        -V, --verbose:	Increase the information that the tool prints  to  the
	 console  during  its  execution.  When	using this option the file and
	 line number are printed.

        -Q, --quiet: Silence normal tool output to stdout.

        -Z, --enable-errata: Enable the application of	errata fixups.	Useful
	 if an errata fixup needs to be	applied	to commands sent to  the  TPM.
	 Defining the environment TPM2TOOLS_ENABLE_ERRATA is equivalent.

TCTI Configuration
       The  TCTI  or  "Transmission  Interface"	is the communication mechanism
       with the	TPM.  TCTIs can	be changed for communication with TPMs	across
       different mediums.

       To control the TCTI, the	tools respect:

       1. The command line option -T or	--tcti

       2. The environment variable: TPM2TOOLS_TCTI.

       Note:  The  command  line option	always overrides the environment vari-
       able.

       The current known TCTIs are:

        tabrmd	    -	  The	  resource     manager,	    called	tabrmd
	 (https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-abrmd).	  Note that tabrmd and
	 abrmd as a tcti name are synonymous.

        mssim - Typically used	for communicating to the TPM software  simula-
	 tor.

        device	- Used when talking directly to	a TPM device file.

        none  - Do not	initalize a connection with the	TPM.  Some tools allow
	 for off-tpm options and thus support not using	a TCTI.	 Tools that do
	 not support it	will error when	attempted to be	used  without  a  TCTI
	 connection.   Does  not  support ANY options and MUST BE presented as
	 the exact text	of "none".

       The arguments to	either the command  line  option  or  the  environment
       variable	are in the form:

       <tcti-name>:<tcti-option-config>

       Specifying  an empty string for either the <tcti-name> or <tcti-option-
       config> results in the default being used for that portion  respective-
       ly.

   TCTI	Defaults
       When  a	TCTI  is not specified,	the default TCTI is searched for using
       dlopen(3) semantics.  The tools will  search  for  tabrmd,  device  and
       mssim  TCTIs  IN	THAT ORDER and USE THE FIRST ONE FOUND.	 You can query
       what TCTI will be chosen	as the default by using	the -v option to print
       the version information.	 The "default-tcti" key-value pair will	 indi-
       cate which of the aforementioned	TCTIs is the default.

   Custom TCTIs
       Any TCTI	that implements	the dynamic TCTI interface can be loaded.  The
       tools internally	use dlopen(3), and the raw tcti-name value is used for
       the lookup.  Thus, this could be	a path to the shared library, or a li-
       brary name as understood	by dlopen(3) semantics.

TCTI OPTIONS
       This collection of options are used to configure	the various known TCTI
       modules available:

        device: For the device	TCTI, the TPM character	device file for	use by
	 the device TCTI can be	specified.  The	default	is /dev/tpm0.

	 Example:    -T	  device:/dev/tpm0   or	  export   TPM2TOOLS_TCTI="de-
	 vice:/dev/tpm0"

        mssim:	For the	mssim TCTI, the	domain name or	IP  address  and  port
	 number	 used  by  the	simulator  can	be specified.  The default are
	 127.0.0.1 and 2321.

	 Example: -T mssim:host=localhost,port=2321  or	 export	 TPM2TOOLS_TC-
	 TI="mssim:host=localhost,port=2321"

        abrmd:	 For  the abrmd	TCTI, the configuration	string format is a se-
	 ries of simple	key value pairs	separated by a	`,'  character.	  Each
	 key and value string are separated by a `=' character.

	  TCTI	abrmd supports two keys:

	   1. `bus_name'  :  The  name	of  the	 tabrmd	 service on the	bus (a
	      string).

	   2. `bus_type' : The type of the dbus	instance (a string) limited to
	      `session'	and `system'.

	 Specify the tabrmd tcti name and a config string of  bus_name=com.ex-
	 ample.FooBar:

		\--tcti=tabrmd:bus_name=com.example.FooBar

	 Specify the default (abrmd) tcti and a	config string of bus_type=ses-
	 sion:

		\--tcti:bus_type=session

	 NOTE: abrmd and tabrmd	are synonymous.

Authorization Formatting
       Authorization  for  use	of an object in	TPM2.0 can come	in 3 different
       forms: 1.  Password 2.  HMAC 3.	Sessions

       NOTE: "Authorizations default to	the EMPTY  PASSWORD  when  not	speci-
       fied".

   Passwords
       Passwords  are  interpreted  in	the following forms below using	prefix
       identifiers.

       Note: By	default	passwords are assumed to be in the  string  form  when
       they do not have	a prefix.

   String
       A  string  password,  specified	by  prefix "str:" or it's absence (raw
       string without prefix) is not interpreted, and is directly used for au-
       thorization.

   Examples
	      foobar
	      str:foobar

   Hex-string
       A hex-string password, specified	by prefix "hex:" is converted  from  a
       hexidecimal  form  into a byte array form, thus allowing	passwords with
       non-printable and/or terminal un-friendly characters.

   Example
	      hex:1122334455667788

   File
       A file based password, specified	be prefix "file:" should be  the  path
       of  a  file  containing the password to be read by the tool or a	"-" to
       use stdin.  Storing passwords in	files  prevents	 information  leakage,
       passwords passed	as options can be read from the	process	list or	common
       shell history features.

   Examples
	      #	to use stdin and be prompted
	      file:-

	      #	to use a file from a path
	      file:path/to/password/file

	      #	to echo	a password via stdin:
	      echo foobar | tpm2_tool -p file:-

	      #	to use a bash here-string via stdin:

	      tpm2_tool	-p file:- <<< foobar

   Sessions
       When  using  a policy session to	authorize the use of an	object,	prefix
       the option argument with	the session keyword.  Then indicate a path  to
       a session file that was created with tpm2_startauthsession(1).  Option-
       ally, if	the session requires an	auth value to be sent with the session
       handle  (eg policy password), then append a + and a string as described
       in the Passwords	section.

   Examples
       To use a	session	context	file called session.ctx.

	      session:session.ctx

       To use a	session	context	file called session.ctx	AND send the authvalue
       mypassword.

	      session:session.ctx+mypassword

       To use a	session	context	file called session.ctx	AND send the HEX auth-
       value 0x11223344.

	      session:session.ctx+hex:11223344

   PCR Authorizations
       You can satisfy a PCR policy using the "pcr:" prefix and	the PCR	 mini-
       language.   The	PCR  minilanguage  is as follows: <pcr-spec>=<raw-pcr-
       file>

       The PCR spec is documented in in	the section "PCR bank specifiers".

       The raw-pcr-file	is an optional argument	that contains  the  output  of
       the raw PCR contents as returned	by tpm2_pcrread(1).

       PCR bank	specifiers

   Examples
       To satisfy a PCR	policy of sha256 on banks 0, 1,	2 and 3	use a specifi-
       er of:

	      pcr:sha256:0,1,2,3

EXAMPLES
   Hash	a file
	      echo "foo" > data
	      tpm2_pcrevent data

   Hash	a file and extend PCR 8
	      echo "foo" > data
	      tpm2_pcrevent 8 data

Returns
       Tools can return	any of the following codes:

        0 - Success.

        1 - General non-specific error.

        2 - Options handling error.

        3 - Authentication error.

        4 - TCTI related error.

        5 - Non supported scheme.  Applicable to tpm2_testparams.
