tpm2(1) 		     General Commands Manual			 tpm2(1)

NAME
     tpm2(1)  -  A  single small executable that combines the various tpm2-tools
     much like a BusyBox that provides a fairly  complete  environment	for  any
     small or embedded system.

SYNOPSIS
     tpm2 [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]

DESCRIPTION
     tpm2(1)  - To ease installation of tpm2-tools in initrd or embedded systems
     where size-optimization and limited resources are important, it  is  conve-
     nient  to have a single executable that can dispatch the various TPM2 func-
     tionalities specified by the argument which is one of  the  available  tool
     names.

     The  options  and	arguments  that  follow are either the common options or
     those specific to the tool name.

     It is important to note that individual tools with prefix tpm2_  can  still
     be invoked, however, they are now soft-linked to this tpm2 executable.  And
     so  unlike BusyBox, full functionality of the individual tools is available
     in the executable.  For example:  tpm2_getrandom  8  can  alternatively  be
     specified as tpm2 getrandom 8.

ARGUMENTS
     List of possible tool names.  NOTE: Specify only one of these.  Look at ex-
     amples.

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

     * -h,  --help=[man|no-man]:  Display the tools manpage.  By default, it at-
       tempts to invoke the manpager for the tool, however, on failure will out-
       put a short tool summary.  This is the same behavior if the "man"  option
       argument  is  specified, however if explicit "man" is requested, the tool
       will provide errors from man on stderr.	If the "no-man" option if speci-
       fied, or the manpager fails, the short options will be output to stdout.

       To successfully use the manpages feature requires the manpages to be  in-
       stalled 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 con-
       sole during its execution.  When using this option the file and line num-
       ber 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.  Defin-
       ing the environment TPM2TOOLS_ENABLE_ERRATA is  equivalent.   information
       many users may expect.

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 variable.

     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 simulator.

     * 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  connec-
       tion.   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-con-
     fig> results in the default being used for that portion respectively.

   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 indicate 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 library
     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="device:/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_TCTI="mssim:host=localhost,port=2321"

     * abrmd: For the abrmd TCTI, the configuration string format is a series 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.exam-
       ple.FooBar:

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

       Specify the default (abrmd) tcti and a config string of bus_type=session:

	      \--tcti:bus_type=session

       NOTE: abrmd and tabrmd are synonymous.  the various known TCTI modules.

EXAMPLES
   Get 8 rand bytes from the TPM
	    tpm2 getrandom 8 | xxd -p

   Send a TPM Startup Command with flags TPM2_SU_CLEAR
	    tpm2 startup -c

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.
