			 TPM Management - tpm_setenable

NAME
     tpm_setenable - change TPM enable states

SYNOPSIS
     tpm_setenable [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
     tpm_setenable  reports  the  status of the TPM's flags regarding the enable
     state of the TPM.	This is the default behavior and also accessible via the
     --status option. Requesting a report of this status prompts for  the  owner
     password.	 The  --enable	option	changes  the system's TPM to the enabled
     state (via the TPM_OwnerSetDisable API).  This operation  prompts	for  the
     owner  password and is persistent. The --disable option (via the TPM_Owner-
     SetDisable API) changes the system's TPM to the disabled state.  This oper-
     ation prompts for the owner password and is persistent.  A disabled TPM  is
     essentially  off  and  does  not  allow  a tpm_takeownership to occur.  The
     --force option overrides the owner password prompt and relies  on	physical
     presence  for  the  operation authorization (via the TPM_PhysicalEnable and
     TPM_PhysicalDisable APIs).  The --enable, --disable, and  --status  options
     are mutually exclusive and the last one on the command line will be carried
     out.

     -f, --force

	    ence to authorize the action.
