🎀 tss2_pcrread(1) 🎀

okay so welcome to the General Commands Manual side of the internet, bestie — today we're talking about tss2_pcrread(1) and it's honestly giving “small command, big PCR energy” 💅✨

---

💖 NAME 💖

tss2_pcrread(1) — (yes, that's the name entry, it's lowkey just the command name and a dash, but we move 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tss2_pcrread [OPTIONS]

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• fapi-config(5) — use this to adjust Fapi parameters like the used cryptographic profile and TCTI, or directories for the Fapi metadata storages. iykyk 💜
• fapi-profile(5) — use this 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. so iconic 🌈

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

tss2_pcrread(1) — this command provides a PCRs value and corresponding event log. The PCR bank to be used per PCR is defined in the cryptographic profile (cf., fapi-profile(5)). no cap, that's the whole vibe check 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

These are the available options:

• -o, --pcrValue=FILENAME or - (for stdout) — returns PCR digest. Optional parameter. 💖
• -x, --pcrIndex=INTEGER — identifies the PCR to read. 🎯
• -f, --force — force overwriting the output files. yes ma'am, overwrite energy 🔥
• -l, --pcrLog=FILENAME or - (for stdout) — returns the PCR log for that PCR. Optional parameter. 🪵✨

PCR event logs are a list (arbitrary length JSON array) of log entries with the following content. bestie, here's the tea ☕:

• recnum: Unique record number
• pcr: PCR index
• digest: The digests
• type: The type of event. At the moment the only possible value is: "LINUX_IMA" (legacy IMA)
• eventDigest: Digest of the event; e.g. the digest of the measured file
• eventName: Name of the event; e.g. the name of the measured file.

🫶 COMMON OPTIONS 🫶

This collection of options are common to all tss2 programs and provide information that many users may expect. group-chat faves, fr fr 💬

• -h, --help [man|no-man] — display the tools manpage. By default, it attempts to invoke the manpager for the tool, however, on failure will output 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 specified, or the manpager fails, the short options will be output to stdout. 😭 manpage lore

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

• -v, --version — display version information for this tool, supported tctis and exit. slay, version check 👑

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

tss2_pcrread --pcrIndex=16 --pcrValue=pcrValue.file --pcrLog=pcrLog.file

✅ RETURNS ✅

0 on success or 1 on failure. simple as that, bestie 💀
