💅 HASHSEQUENCESTART — section 1, User Commands, bestie 💅

okay so like. this is hashsequencestart from the User Commands manual (that's section 1, the one where all the fun little executables live), and we're about to run TPM2_HashSequenceStart together. grab a snack. it's giving command-line but make it cute. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

hashsequencestart — runs TPM2_HashSequenceStart 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

first things first, and I need you to hear me on this one:

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

like. it's just not. that's not a thing. not me showing up with a fake flag 😭

hashsequencestart

Runs TPM2_HashSequenceStart. periodt. that's the whole job. 👑

🔥 the options, babes 🔥

  • -pwda — password for sequence (default empty). yeah, empty. the default is nothing, so if you don't set it, it's just vibes and an empty string 🫶
  • -halg — the hash algorithm. your choices are sha1, sha256, sha384, null. default is sha256.
    • and lowkey important: null is an event sequence. that's not a normal hash situation, that's an event sequence, so know what you're doing bestie 💀
  • -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP).
    • 01 continue

and then… the page does the thing where it repeats itself. iconic honestly. not a bug, it's just how this one was written, and I'm not about to erase it because every detail stays. so here's round two, same energy, same facts: 💖

hashsequencestart (yes, again, she's back)

Runs TPM2_HashSequenceStart. still. 🌈

  • -pwda — password for sequence (default empty)
  • -halg — (sha1, sha256, sha384, null) (default sha256)
    • null is an event sequence
  • -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP)
    • 01 continue

also, while we're here, because the page insists on telling us twice:

--version is not a valid option

nope. not valid. do not pass go, do not collect a version number 🙈

hashsequencestart (third time's the charm, I guess??)

Runs TPM2_HashSequenceStart. 💜

  • -pwda — password for sequence (default empty)
  • -halg — (sha1, sha256, sha384, null) (default sha256)
    • null is an event sequence
  • -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP)
    • 01 continue
real talk though: --version-string=v1045 and --version are both listed as not valid options. if you type either one, that's on you, and the manpage said so, fr fr. ⭐

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

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

info hashsequencestart

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

and that's the whole page bestie!! this came out of the hashsequencestart manual, dated July 2017, and it's the section 1 / User Commands situation — so if you ever cite it, that's the source and the date, no cap. go run your hash sequence, you absolute main character. 💅💖🎀🫶
