✨ NAME ✨

nvwritelock — literally just runs TPM2_NV_Writelock 💅 (yes bestie, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly)

Oh and btw this is the nvwritelock page from the User Commands manual, section 1, so you're in exactly the right place 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, real talk, the first thing this page tells you is:

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

Noted. That option is not a vibe, it's not a thing, do not pass it, it will not slay 🙅‍♀️

Now the actual usage, and I'm keeping this character for character because precision is the moment:

nvwritelock

Runs TPM2_NV_WriteLock

       [-hia hierarchy authorization (o, p)(default index
       authorization)] -ha NV index handle -pwdn password for NV index
       (default empty)

-se[0-2] session handle / attributes (default PWAP)

       01 continue

Breaking that down for you, bestie:

  • -hia — hierarchy authorization, and the options are o or p, with a default of index authorization
  • -ha — the NV index handle
  • -pwdn — password for the NV index, default is empty
  • -se[0-2] — session handle / attributes, default is PWAP
    • 01 — continue

And then 💀 the page says it all again, exactly like this:

--version is not a valid option

Yeah. --version? Also not a valid option. Iconic of her to double-check that you knew.

Then the whole thing repeats:

nvwritelock

Runs TPM2_NV_WriteLock

       [-hia hierarchy authorization (o, p)(default index
       authorization)] -ha NV index handle -pwdn password for NV index
       (default empty)

-se[0-2] session handle / attributes (default PWAP)

       01 continue

Same facts, second pass, no notes 🫶

Heads up: --version-string=v1045 and --version are both called out as not valid options on this page. So like, don't. 🚫
