tpm2_pcrread(1)		    General Commands Manual	       tpm2_pcrread(1)

NAME
       tpm2_pcrread(1) - List PCR values.

SYNOPSIS
       tpm2_pcrread [OPTIONS] PCR_LIST_OR_ALG

DESCRIPTION
       tpm2_pcrread(1)	 -   Displays  PCR  values.   Without  any  arguments,
       tpm2_pcrread(1) outputs all PCRs	and their hash	banks.	 One  can  use
       specify	the  hash algorithm or a pcr list as an	argument to filter the
       output.

       To only output PCR banks	with a given algorithm,	 specify  the  hashing
       algorithm  as  the  argument.  Algorithms should	follow the "formatting
       standards", see section	"Algorithm  Specifiers".   Also,  see  section
       "Supported Hash Algorithms" for a list of supported hash	algorithms.

       To output a list	of PCR banks (sha1, sha256, etc) and ids (0, 1,	2 etc)
       specify	a  PCR selection list as the argument as specified via section
       "PCR Bank Specifiers".

       Also read NOTES section below.

       Output is written in a YAML format to stdout, with each algorithm  fol-
       lowed  by  a  PCR index and its value.  As a simple example assume just
       sha1 and	sha256 support and only	1 PCR.	The output would be:

	      $	tpm2_pcrread sha1:0+sha256:0
	      sha1 :
		0  : 0000000000000000000000000000000000000003
	      sha256 :
		0  : 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003

OPTIONS
        -o, --output=FILE:

	 The output file to write the PCR values in binary format, optional.

        --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.

        -F, --pcrs_format=FORMAT:

	 Format	selection for the binary blob in the PCR output	 file.	 `val-
	 ues'  will output a binary blob of the	PCR values.  `serialized' will
	 output	a binary blob of the PCR values	in the form of serialized data
	 structure in little endian format.  Optional.	Default	is `values'.

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.

       PCR bank	specifiers

Supported Hash Algorithms
       Supported hash algorithms are:

        0x4 or	sha1 for TPM_ALG_SHA1

        0xB or	sha256 for TPM_ALG_SHA256 (default)

        0xC or	sha384 for TPM_ALG_SHA384

        0xD or	sha512 for TPM_ALG_SHA512

        0x12 or sm3_256 for TPM_ALG_SM3_256

       NOTE: Your TPM may not support all algorithms.

Algorithm Specifiers
       Options that take algorithms support "nice-names".

       There are two major algorithm specification string classes, simple  and
       complex.	 Only certain algorithms will be accepted by the TPM, based on
       usage and conditions.

   Simple specifiers
       These are strings with no additional specification data.	 When creating
       objects,	 non-specified	portions of an object are assumed to defaults.

   Complex Specifiers
       Objects,	when specified for creation by the TPM,	 have  numerous	 algo-
       rithms  to  populate  in	the public data.  Things like type, scheme and
       asymmetric details, key size, etc.  Below is  the  general  format  for
       specifying this data: <type>:<scheme>:<symmetric-details>

   Type	Specifiers
       This  portion  of the complex algorithm specifier is required.  The re-
       maining scheme and symmetric details will default  based	 on  the  type
       specified and the type of the object being created.

        aes - Default AES: aes128

        aes128<mode>  - 128 bit AES with optional mode	(ctr|ofb|cbc|cfb|ecb).
	 If mode is not	specified, defaults to null.

        aes192<mode> -	Same as	aes128<mode>, except for a 192 bit key size.

        aes256<mode> -	Same as	aes128<mode>, except for a 256 bit key size.

        sm4 - Default SM4: sm4128

        sm4128	 or  sm4_128  <mode>  -	 128  bit  SM4	with   optional	  mode
	 (ctr|ofb|cbc|cfb|ecb).	 If mode is not	specified, defaults to null.

        ecc - Elliptical Curve, defaults to ecc256.

        ecc192	or ecc_nist_p192 - 192 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc224	or ecc_nist_p224 - 224 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc256	or ecc_nist_p256 - 256 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc384	or ecc_nist_p384 - 384 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc521	or ecc_nist_p521 - 521 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc_sm2 or ecc_sm2_p256 - 256 bit SM2 curve

        rsa - Default RSA: rsa2048

        rsa1024 - RSA with 1024 bit keysize.

        rsa2048 - RSA with 2048 bit keysize.

        rsa3072 - RSA with 3072 bit keysize.

        rsa4096 - RSA with 4096 bit keysize.

   Scheme Specifiers
       Next, is	an optional field, it can be skipped.

       Schemes	are  usually Signing Schemes or	Asymmetric Encryption Schemes.
       Most signing schemes take a hash	algorithm directly following the sign-
       ing scheme.  If the hash	algorithm is missing, it defaults  to  sha256.
       Some take no arguments, and some	take multiple arguments.

   Hash	Optional Scheme	Specifiers
       These  scheme  specifiers are followed by a dash	and a valid hash algo-
       rithm, For example: oaep-sha256.

        oaep

        ecdh

        rsassa

        rsapss

        ecdsa

        ecschnorr

        sm2

   Multiple Option Scheme Specifiers
       This scheme specifier is	followed by a count  (max  size	 UINT16)  then
       followed	by a dash(-) and a valid hash algorithm.  * ecdaa For example,
       ecdaa4-sha256.  If no count is specified, it defaults to	4.

   No Option Scheme Specifiers
       This scheme specifier takes NO arguments.  * rsaes

   Symmetric Details Specifiers
       This  field is optional,	and defaults based on the type of object being
       created and it's	attributes.  Generally,	any valid Symmetric  specifier
       from  the Type Specifiers list should work.  If not specified, an asym-
       metric objects symmetric	details	defaults to aes128cfb.

   Examples
   Create an rsa2048 key with an rsaes asymmetric encryption scheme
       tpm2_create -C parent.ctx -G rsa2048:rsaes -u key.pub -r	key.priv

   Create an ecc256 key	with an	ecdaa signing scheme with a  count  of	4  and
       sha384 hash
       /tpm2_create  -C	 parent.ctx  -G	 ecc256:ecdaa4-sha384  -u  key.pub  -r
       key.priv

EXAMPLES
   Display all PCR values
	      tpm2_pcrread

   Display the PCR values with a specified bank
	      tpm2_pcrread sha1

   Display the PCR values with specified banks and store in a file
	      tpm2_pcrread -o pcrs sha1:16,17,18+sha256:16,17,18

   Display the supported PCR bank algorithms and exit
	      tpm2_pcrread

NOTES
       The maximum number of PCR that can be dumped at once is associated with
       the maximum length of a bank.

       On most TPMs, it	means that this	tool can dump up to 24 PCRs at once.

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.
