✨ LOADEXTERNAL(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is loadexternal, a lil' something from the User Commands corner of your system (that's section 1, iykyk) 💖 and it runs TPM2_LoadExternal for you. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

loadexternal — runs TPM2_LoadExternal 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

first things first, and I need you to sit down for this one:

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

that's literally what the page says. it's giving "we don't do that here." 🙈

now, the actual vibe:

loadexternal

runs TPM2_LoadExternal

[-hi hierarchy (e, o, p, n) (default NULL)] [-nalg name hash
algorithm (sha1, sha256, sha384) (default sha256)] [-halg (sha1,
sha256, sha384) (default sha256)] [Asymmetric Key Algorithm]

[-rsa (default)] [-ecc curve (uses NIST P-256)]
  • -ipu — the TPM2B_PUBLIC public key file name, like, hand me the file bestie 🫶
  • -ipem — the PEM format public key file name ✨
  • -ider — the DER format RSA plaintext key pair file name 🎀

and then:

[-si signing (default)] [-st storage]

next up, the plot twist 🌈:

--version is not a valid option

not it either, bestie. 💀

[-rsa (default)] [-ecc curve (uses NIST P-256)]
  • -ipu — the TPM2B_PUBLIC public key file name 💜
  • -ipem — the PEM format public key file name 🌟
  • -ider — the DER format RSA plaintext key pair file name 🍓

and once more with feeling:

[-si signing (default)] [-st storage]
yes, this whole thing is in the page twice. that's just what it says, and I'm not about to edit the manpage, periodt. 👑

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

the full documentation for loadexternal is maintained as a Texinfo manual. so if the info and loadexternal programs are properly installed at your site, this command

info loadexternal

should give you access to the complete manual. go off, icon 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was loadexternal, dated July 2017, and the version/source line is just… loadexternal again, living its main character moment. mwah 💋 bye!!
