👑 PCRREAD(1) 👑

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for pcrread, a User Commands situation, and honestly? it's giving ✨chaos✨ in the best way. buckle up, we're reading it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

pcrread — Runs TPM2_PCR_Read

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

first things first, the page just... says this out loud:

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

yes bestie, that is literally the opening line of the DESCRIPTION. no context, no chill. moving on 💀

pcrread

Runs TPM2_PCR_Read

  • -ha pcr handle — this is the PCR handle you're working with.
  • -halg (sha1, sha256, sha384) (default sha256) — pick your hash algorithm, queen.
    • heads up: -halg may be specified more than once.
  • [-of data file for first algorithm specified, in binary] — (default do not save)
  • [-ns no space, no text, no newlines, first algorithm] — Used for scripting policy construction
  • -se0 session handle / attributes — and the values are:
    • 01 continue 80 audit

and then — iconic behaviour, no notes — the page says the ENTIRE thing again, word for word:

--version is not a valid option

not me noticing the second round swaps in a different invalid-option line — --version this time. both are verbatim, both are real, we don't gatekeep 🦋

fr fr, copy the option names and values exactly as they're written here. no renaming, no "fixing", no inventing extra flags. the manual is the manual 💖

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

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

should give you access to the complete manual.

so if you want the whole lore, that's where it lives 📖✨

and that's the page, bestie!! this gorgeous little artifact is pcrread, July 2017, and it goes by the manual name PCRREAD(1). slay, mwah 💅💖🎀🦋
