HIERARCHYCONTROL 💅

okay bestie, come sit with me, we're doing hierarchycontrol from the User Commands corner of the manual, and yes it's the one that runs TPM2_Hierarchycontrol. lowercase name, big power. periodt. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

hierarchycontrol — literally just runs TPM2_Hierarchycontrol. that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

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

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

not valid. not it. do not pass go, do not collect $200. 💀

hierarchycontrol

Runs TPM2_HierarchyControl. yes that's the description of the description, we're going in circles and honestly? iconic. 🎀

  • -hi — authhandle hierarchy (e, o, p)
  • -he — enable hierarchy (e, o, p, n)
    • e endorsement, o owner, p platform, n null
  • -pwda — authorization password (default empty)
  • -state — (0 to disable, 1 to enable) (default enable)
  • -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP)
    • 01 continue 20 command decrypt 40 response encrypt

🫶 okay so... here it is AGAIN

no fr fr, the manpage says it twice and I'm not about to gatekeep. round two, same energy, zero edits:

--version is not a valid option

(also not valid. also not the one. bestie, why are you even asking 😭)

heads up angel: yes, this whole block shows up twice in the original. that's not me being extra (well, it's not only me being extra), that's just what's written. copy-paste queen behavior, we respect it. 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the full documentation for hierarchycontrol is maintained as a Texinfo manual — not a random blog post, not a discord screenshot, an actual Texinfo manual. 💖

and if the info and hierarchycontrol programs are properly installed at your site, then this:

info hierarchycontrol

should give you access to the complete manual. that's it, that's the portal, go through it. 🧚

k that's the whole page!! this little slice of documentation was born in July 2017, it lives under the name hierarchycontrol, and it's filed in the HIERARCHYCONTROL(1) section. stay hydrated, read your manpages, and don't try to pass --version-string=v1045 because I will find out. 💜🦋✨
