User Commands ✨ QUOTE(1)

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let's talk about quote — she's a user command and she's here to run TPM2_Quote. that's the whole NAME vibe. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

quote — Runs TPM2_Quote

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

first thing's first, no cap, the manpage opens with this absolute jumpscare:

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

like… noted?? 😭 anyway.

quote

Runs TPM2_Quote. periodt. that's the mission statement.

-hp — pcr handle (may be specified more than once) 💅

-hk — quoting key handle

and then the whole little family of bracketed optional besties that ride along with -hk, all defaults spelled out because we do NOT gatekeep:

  • -pwdk — password for quoting key (default empty)
  • -halg — for signing (sha1, sha256, sha384) (default sha256)
  • -palg — for PCR bank selection (sha1, sha256, sha384) (default sha256)
  • -salg — signature algorithm (rsa, ecc) (default rsa)
  • -qd — qualifying data file name
  • -os — quote signature file name (default do not save)
  • -oa — attestation output file name (default do not save)

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

and under that:

  • 01 continue

okay so. here's the thing. the page then does the ENTIRE THING AGAIN. same energy, same text, twice. not me writing this twice, I'm just the messenger 💀:

--version is not a valid option
