💖 ekey-rekey — the Entropy Key Long Term Session Key tool 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ekey-rekey(8) page from the System Manager's Manual. this one's a lil niche but it's lowkey iconic, so let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ekey-rekey — Entropy Key Long Term Session Key tool 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ekey-rekey [ -d DeviceNode ] [SerialNumber [MasterKey]]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so, ekey-rekey is the tool that sets the long-term key of an Entropy Key using its Master Key. that's the whole vibe. it also makes sure that any running ekey daemons get updated with the altered keys — like, no daemon left behind, fr fr 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• SerialNumber — tells the tool which key's serial number you wanna re-key. not feeling like typing it? no stress, because if you don't specify it, the identity of the Entropy Key that's currently connected gets automatically detected. it's giving main character energy, it just knows ✨
• MasterKey — this is where you drop the Master Key of the device you're re-keying. skip it and the user gets prompted for it instead. either way, you're getting in 🔑
• -d, --device — when this flag is specified, the tool expects you to give it the device node to use (think something like /dev/ttyACM0) rather than it trying to work it out from the serial number you provided. sometimes you just gotta hand it the answer directly, periodt 💁
