IMPORT(1)

💖 NAME 💖

import — Runs TPM2_Import 🫶

(It lives in section 1 of the manual, bestie, that's the "user commands" shelf ✨)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so first of all, before we even get into it, the page opens with this absolute jump scare:

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

Yeah. That's just... sitting there. Anyway 💀

Import

Runs TPM2_Import 👑

• -hp parent handle
  • [-pwdp password for parent (default empty)] — parent password, defaults to empty, she's low maintenance
  • [-ik encryption key in file name] — encryption key, living in a file, as one does
  • -ipu object public area file name — the object public area file name
  • -id duplicate file name — the duplicate file name
  • -iss symmetric seed file name — the symmetric seed file name
  • [-salg symmetric algorithm (default none)] — symmetric algorithm, and the default is none
• -opr private area file name — private area file name, iconic
• -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes (default PWAP)
  • 01 continue
  • 20 command decrypt
  • 40 response encrypt

And then the page says ALL OF THAT AGAIN. Not me being repetitive, the manpage is being repetitive 🙈 but bestie I promised I'd keep every crumb, so here it is one more time, exactly as written:

--version is not a valid option

Import

Runs TPM2_Import 👑

• -hp parent handle
  • [-pwdp password for parent (default empty)]
  • [-ik encryption key in file name]
  • -ipu object public area file name
  • -id duplicate file name
  • -iss symmetric seed file name
  • [-salg symmetric algorithm (default none)]
• -opr private area file name
• -se[0-2] session handle / attributes (default PWAP)
  • 01 continue
  • 20 command decrypt
  • 40 response encrypt

Not me noticing that the second pass drops the -string and leaves you with just --version 😭 that's literally what the page says, I'm just the messenger.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

The full documentation for import is maintained as a Texinfo manual — so the real, full tea ☕ is over there. If the info and import programs are properly installed at your site, then this command:

info import

should give you access to the complete manual. Slay ✨

That's the whole vibe check, bestie 💜 this was import from July 2017, man page section IMPORT(1) — go forth and TPM2_Import responsibly 🎀
