💖 NAME 💖

signapp — Runs TPM2_Signapp 🎀

okay so first things first, bestie: this is SIGNAPP(1), living over in the User Commands section of the manual. and the command it's about is literally just signapp. one command. that's the whole name situation. slay 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so before we even get to the actual description, the page opens with this absolute jumpscare:

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

not a valid option, no cap 😭 that's literally the first thing it says. and then it just moves on like nothing happened:

signapp

Runs a TPM2_Sign application, including creating a primary storage key and creating and loading a signing key ✨

  • -ic — input message to hash and sign
    • -pwsess — Use a password session, no HMAC or parameter encryption

and about that second one: the page tucks it away nested under -ic and wraps the whole thing in brackets, like [-pwsess Use a password session, no HMAC or parameter encryption] 🫶 so that's the vibe.

okay and now here's where it gets iconic, because the page then hits you with:

--version is not a valid option

🙈 also not a valid option, fr fr. and then — and I cannot stress this enough — it runs the exact same block again:

signapp

Runs a TPM2_Sign application, including creating a primary storage key and creating and loading a signing key ✨

  • -ic — input message to hash and sign
    • -pwsess — Use a password session, no HMAC or parameter encryption

and yep, brackets again: [-pwsess Use a password session, no HMAC or parameter encryption].

so like. two rounds. same content. the page is giving main character energy and also copy-paste energy 💅 and honestly? we respect it. periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

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

that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it 💖 this one's dated July 2017, it comes from signapp itself, and the title is SIGNAPP(1) — so like, that's the source, that's the date, that's the name. bye bestie, go run it 🦋🌸
