tss2_createnv(1)	     General Commands Manual		tss2_createnv(1)

NAME
     tss2_createnv(1) -

SYNOPSIS
     tss2_createnv [OPTIONS]

SEE ALSO
     fapi-config(5)  to  adjust Fapi parameters like the used cryptographic pro-
     file and TCTI or directories for the Fapi metadata storages.

     fapi-profile(5) to determine the cryptographic  algorithms  and  parameters
     for  all  keys  and  operations of a specific TPM interaction like the name
     hash algorithm, the asymmetric signature algorithm, scheme  and  parameters
     and PCR bank selection.

DESCRIPTION
     tss2_createnv(1) - This command creates an NV index in the TPM.

OPTIONS
     These are the available options:

     * -p, --path=STRING:

       Path of the new NV space.

       The  path  is  composed	of  three elements, separated by "/".  An nvPath
       starts with "/nv".  The second path  element  identifies  the  NV  handle
       range for the nv object.  This includes the following values: Owner, TPM,
       Platform,  Endorsement_Certificate,  Platform_Certificate, Component_OEM,
       TPM_OEM, Platform_OEM, PC-Client, Server, Virtualized_Platform, MPWG, Em-
       bedded.	The third path element identifies the actual  NV-Index	using  a
       meaningful name.

     * -t, --type=STRING:

       Identifies  the	intended  usage.   Optional parameter.	Types may be any
       comma-separated combination of:

	      - "noda": Sets the noda attribute of a key or NV index.
	      - "bitfield": Sets the NV type to bitfield.
	      - "counter": Sets the NV type to counter.
	      - "pcr": Sets the NV type to pcr-like behavior.
	      - Hint: If none of the previous three keywords is provided a regular NV
		index is created.

     * -s, --size=INTEGER:

       The size in bytes of the NV index to be created.  Can be omitted if  size
       can  be	inferred  from	the type; e.g. an NV index of type counter has a
       size of 8 bytes.

     * -P, --policyPath=STRING:

       Identifies the policy to be associated with the new NV  space.	Optional
       parameter.  If omitted then no policy will be associated with the key.

       A policyPath is composed of two elements, separated by "/".  A policyPath
       starts  with "/policy".	The second path element identifies the policy or
       policy template using a meaningful name.

     * -a, --authValue=STRING:

       The new UTF-8 password.	Optional parameter.  If it is neglected then the
       user is queried interactively for a password.  To set no  password,  this
       option  should  be used with the empty string ("").  The maximum password
       size is determined by the digest size of the chosen name  hash  algorithm
       in the cryptographic profile (cf., fapi-profile(5)).  For example, choos-
       ing  SHA256  as	hash algorithm, allows passwords of a maximum size of 32
       characters.

COMMON OPTIONS
     This collection of options are common to all tss2 programs and provide  in-
     formation that many users may expect.

     * -h,  --help  [man|no-man]: Display the tools manpage.  By default, it at-
       tempts to invoke the manpager for the tool, however, on failure will out-
       put a short tool summary.  This is the same behavior if the "man"  option
       argument  is  specified, however if explicit "man" is requested, the tool
       will provide errors from man on stderr.	If the "no-man" option if speci-
       fied, or the manpager fails, the short options will be output to stdout.

       To successfully use the manpages feature requires the manpages to be  in-
       stalled or on MANPATH, See man(1) for more details.

     * -v, --version: Display version information for this tool, supported tctis
       and exit.

EXAMPLE
	    tss2_createnv --authValue=abc --path=/nv/Owner/myNV --size=20 --type="noDa"

RETURNS
     0 on success or 1 on failure.
