CLOCKSET(1)

👑 NAME

clockset — runs TPM2_ClockSet. That's the whole pitch, bestie. No notes. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the very first thing this page says to you, before literally anything else, is this:

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

which is a mood honestly. 😭 not me getting scolded by a manpage in the first sentence. fr fr.

Then it drops the command name:

clockset

and then, plain as day: runs TPM2_ClockSet. 🌸

Here's what it takes:

• -time — the new time. that's it, that's the arg.
• -hi — the hierarchy, and your choices are (o, p). default is platform.
  • o = owner, p = platform. 🫶
• -pwdp — password for hierarchy. default is empty (so, like, no password, we're just out here).
• -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes. default is PWAP.
  • 01 = continue. ⭐

and then — because the page said it once and apparently felt that was not enough — it says the exact same thing again:

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

clockset

Runs TPM2_ClockSet.

• -time — the new time.
• -hi — the hierarchy (o, p). default platform.
  • o owner, p platform.
• -pwdp — password for hierarchy. default empty.
• -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes. default PWAP.
  • 01 continue.

and then, as if the plot needed another twist, it hits you with:

--version is not a valid option

💀 iconic behaviour. the manpage said double feature. and then — you guessed it — the whole clockset block shows up one more time:

clockset

Runs TPM2_ClockSet.

• -time — new time.
• -hi — hierarchy (o, p) (default platform).
  • o owner, p platform.
• -pwdp — password for hierarchy (default empty).
• -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP).
  • 01 continue.

not me counting the repeats: that's three full passes of the same option list, bestie. every single flag, every single default, preserved exactly. no cap. 🎀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

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

info clockset

should give you access to the complete manual. so like, if you want the actual lore, that's where it lives. ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie. this one's from July 2017, it's the clockset manual, and it lives under the name CLOCKSET(1). go clock something. 💖🦋🌸
