🎀 hi bestie, welcome to clearcontrol 🎀

okay so this is clearcontrol, and it lives in section 1 of the User Commands manual. she's a little unhinged, she's a little iconic, and we're gonna get through her together. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

clearcontrol — runs TPM2_ClearControl. that's the whole job. that's her whole thing. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

first thing on the page, literally the first line, no context, no warning:

--version-string=v1045 is not a valid option

yeah. she opens with that. no explanation given, we simply move on. 😭

then:

clearcontrol

and then, once again, for the people in the back:

Runs TPM2_ClearControl

now the flags, and listen, these are the real deal so read them properly 🧚

  • -hi authhandle — the hierarchy you're pointing at. options are l for lockout, or p for platform.
  • -pwda authorization password — the password for authorization. default is empty, so like, nothing, blank, the void. 🕳️
  • -state — 0 to disable, 1 to enable. and the default is enable. (the original text here says "1 to enable (default enable)" with a missing paren, and yes, i am leaving that exactly as it is because i do not make the rules. 😭)
  • -se[0-2] session handle / attributes — default is PWAP. the attribute values are:
    • 01 continue
    • 20 command decrypt
    • 40 response encrypt

💖 DESCRIPTION (yes, again, i'm not kidding) 💖

bestie. the page does the whole thing twice. same content, same order, zero shame. so here it is one more time, verbatim, because i am not skipping a single crumb: 💀

--version is not a valid option
clearcontrol
Runs TPM2_ClearControl
  • -hi authhandle — hierarchy. l lockout, p platform.
  • -pwda authorization password — default empty.
  • -state — 0 disable, 1 enable (default enable).
  • -se[0-2] session handle / attributes — default PWAP.
    • 01 continue
    • 20 command decrypt
    • 40 response encrypt

and that's it. that's the whole description section. twice. slay i guess. 💅✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the full documentation for clearcontrol is maintained as a Texinfo manual. if the info and clearcontrol programs are properly installed at your site, the command

info clearcontrol

should give you access to the complete manual. so like, if you want the ✨full✨ experience, that's where you go. 🦋

that's the page, bestie. no cap, you now know everything this manual knows. go forth and be the main character of your own hierarchy. 💜

much love from the User Commands manual, version dated July 2017, page clearcontrol — aka CLEARCONTROL(1) — signing off. mwah. 😘💖
