NAME
       tpm_nvwrite

SYNOPSIS
       tpm_nvwrite [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       tpm_nvwrite writes data to an NVRAM area.  The user must	provide	the
       index of	the NVRAM area as well as the data to write into the NVRAM
       area. Optionally	an offset into the NVRAM area can be given where the
       writing of the data is to start.	Similarly the use may provide the
       number of bytes to write	into the NVRAM area. Some NVRAM	areas only
       allow write sizes of zero, i.e.,	NVRAM area index 0.  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 (optional parameter)
	   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 write	to the NVRAM area. This	parameter may
	   be used to truncating the data that are for example read from a
	   file.  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 where	to start writing.  The
	   parameter may either	be a decimal number or a hexadecimal number
	   starting with '0x'.

       -f, --filename (optional	parameter)
	   The name of a file from which to read data and copy them into the
	   NVRAM area.

       -d, --data (optional parameter)
	   The data to write into the NVRAM area passed	in the command line.

       -m, --fill-value	(optional parameter)
	   The byte to fill the	NVRAM area with.
