💅 CONTEXTSAVE(1) — bestie's guide to the User Commands manual

okay so. you opened the manual for contextsave, and honestly? it's giving ✨minimalist✨. it's a short one. we're gonna walk through it together though, no cap. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

contextsave — Runs TPM2_Contextsave

that's it. that's the whole name section. iconic of it honestly. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, buckle up, because the description section is... a lot. it's literally two copies of the same thing, and it opens with an error message. not me getting yelled at by a manpage 😭

first up, the manual tells us straight up:

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

so like. that's just sitting there. in the description. as if that's normal. anyway. 🙈

then:

contextsave

Runs TPM2_ContextSave

and the options it's repping:

  • -ha handle — this is the handle you're passing in, fr fr.
    • [-of context file name (default do not save) ] — and this one is optional! it's the context file name, and if you don't give it one, the default is that it does not save. so like... nothing happens. vibe check: passed, but also, nothing saved. 💀

and then — because why not — the whole thing happens AGAIN:

contextsave

Runs TPM2_ContextSave

  • -ha handle
    • [-of context file name (default do not save) ]

and before that second round, one more time, for the people in the back:

--version is not a valid option

so yeah. both --version-string=v1045 and --version are, per this manual, not valid options. noted. logging that in my journal. 📝

heads up bestie: those two "is not a valid option" lines are literally printed inside the DESCRIPTION section. they're not options you can use — they're the manual telling you they don't work. don't come for me, I'm just the messenger. 💅
