		      TPM Management - tpm_setoperatorauth

NAME
     tpm_setoperatorauth - sets the operator authorization value in the TPM

SYNOPSIS
     tpm_setoperatorauth [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
     tpm_setoperatorauth  allows setting the operator authorization value in the
     TPM (via the TPM_SetOperatorAuth API).  This operation prompts for the  new
     password and a confirmation of it. The --well-known option tells the API to
     use the default TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET (a 20-bytes array of zeros) as opera-
     tor authorization information, instead of prompting for one.

	    operator password.
