💅 TPM2-TOOLS(1) — the tss2 glow-up ✨

okay bestie, so you're reading the tss2 manual from the tss2 User Manual and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋🫶

✨ NAME ✨

tss2 — a single small executable that combines the various tpm2-tools, much like a BusyBox that provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system 💖

like. one binary. all the vibes. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tss2 [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this manual page documents, briefly, the tss2 command 📖

real talk: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. yes, we wrote it ourselves. we did that 💅

tss2 — okay so here's the whole point. To ease installation of tpm2-tools in initrd or embedded systems where size-optimization and limited resources are important, it is convenient to have a single executable that can dispatch the various TSS2 functionalities specified by the argument, which is one of the available tool names. it's a little switchboard of a binary fr fr 🦋

the options and arguments that follow are either the common options or those specific to the tool name. so yeah, know which one you're holding ✨

important bestie: individual tools with the prefix tss2_ can still be invoked, however, they are now soft-linked to this tpm2 executable. and so, unlike BusyBox, the full functionality of the individual tools is available in the executable 👑

for example: tss2_getrandom(1) can alternatively be specified as tss2 getrandom 🌈

same tool, different door, both slay 💅
