NAME
       tpm_nvread

SYNOPSIS
       tpm_nvread [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       tpm_nvread reads	data from an NVRAM area	and either displays them or
       writes them into	a file.	The user must provide the index	of the NVRAM
       area. If	the user provided the number of	bytes to read then this	will
       be the maximum number of	bytes that will	be read	from the NVRAM area,
       otherwise the whole NVRAM area will be read. Some NVRAM areas only
       allow read sizes	of zero, i.e., NVRAM area with index 0.	Optionally an
       offset into the NVRAM area can be given where the reading of the	data
       is to start. If the NVRAM area has permission bits set that require
       owner or	NVRAM area authentication, then	the password must be provided
       via the password	option.

       The following options are supported:

       -h, --help
	   Display command usage info.

       -v, --version
	   Display command version info.

       -l, --log [none|error|info|debug]
	   Set logging level.

       -u, --unicode
	   Use	TSS UNICODE encoding for passwords to comply with applications
	   using TSS popup boxes

       -z, --well-known
	   Use a secret	of all zeros (20 bytes of zeros) as either  the	 NVRAM
	   area	or owner secret.

       -p, --password
	   Depending  on what type of authentication is	required for the NVRAM
	   area, this must either be the NVRAM area or owner password.

	   A  password	may  be	 directly  provided  for  example   by	 using
	   '--password=password'  or  '-ppassword'. If no password is provided
	   then	the program will prompt	the user for the password.

       -i, --index
	   The index of	the NVRAM area.	 The parameter may either be a decimal
	   number or a hexadecimal number starting with	'0x'.

       -s, --size
	   The number of bytes to read from the	NVRAM area.  The parameter may
	   either be a decimal number or a hexadecimal	number	starting  with
	   '0x'.

       -n, --offset (optional parameter)
	   The	offset	into  the NVRAM	area from where	to start reading.  The
	   parameter may either	be a decimal number or	a  hexadecimal	number
	   starting with '0x'.

       -f, --filename (optional	parameter)
	   The	name  of  a  file  the	read  data will	be written into. If no
	   filename is given the data will be printed to stdout.
