💅 VIRT-FW-MEASURE(1) 💅

okay bestie, so virt-fw-measure is a User Command from the virt-fw-measure 26.10 world — literally the manual page for virt-fw-measure 26.10, no cap. it does firmware measuring things and honestly it's giving "quietly iconic utility" energy. this is the whole vibe, let's go 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

virt-fw-measure [options]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. virt-fw-measure plus your [options] and you're off 🦋

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the moment you forget a flag, this is your bestie 🫶
• -l LEVEL, --loglevel=LEVEL — set loglevel to LEVEL. you wanna know what's happening? turn the volume up, babe 💬
• --image=FILE — read edk2 image from FILE. point it at your edk2 image and let it cook 📂
• --version=VER — firmware version (PcdFirmwareVersionString). exactly that, verbatim, don't come for me ✨
• --pcrlock — write event log in systemd-pcrlock format (default). yeah she's the default, she's main character energy 👑
• --digests — write expected pcr values. the numbers you were expecting, slayed 🧮
• --vars=FILE — read edk2 vars from FILE. vars from this file specifically, iykyk 🍓
• --no-sb, --no-secure-boot — assume secure boot is disabled. two names, one mood 😌
• **--shim enable shim variable measurements — turn those shim variable measurements on 🧚
• --no-shim — disable shim variable measurements. off. gone. bye 💀
• --bank=BANKS — pick tpm2 banks (sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512), specify multiple times to select more than one. greedy girl behavior — go off, stack those banks 🌈
