TPM_MKUUID(8)

✨ MAKE TPM UUID 💅

okay bestie, so this is the tpm_mkuuid page from the MAKE TPM UUID section of the manual — section 8, which is the "system admin commands" section, iykyk. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

tpm_mkuuid — generate a TPM UUID ✨

Like, that's the whole job. It makes a UUID. For a TPM. She's a one-trick pony and honestly? She ate. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tpm_uuid [-hv] UUID-FILE

not me noticing that the page is called tpm_mkuuid but the synopsis literally says tpm_uuid 💀 that's just how it is, bestie, don't @ me, I am reporting the facts exactly as they are.

So you run it, you give it a file, and UUID-FILE is where the magic lands. That's it. That's the whole vibe.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The program generates a TPM UUID and stores it in the file UUID-FILE. That's literally the entire personality. It doesn't chat, it doesn't ask follow-up questions, it just mints you a fresh UUID and drops it into that file. main character energy fr fr 🔥

And here are the two little flags you can pass:

• -h — Display command usage info. Your "heyyy how does this work again" button 🫶
• -v — Display command version info. Your "wait which build is this" button 🌈

That's genuinely all of them. Two flags. She's lowkey minimalist and I respect it.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• tpm_quote_tools(8) — go read this one too, bestie, it's the whole squad 💜

ngl this one is short and sweet and I'm obsessed with it. That's the tea from Oct 2010, straight out of the MAKE TPM UUID(8) era — old school, still iconic, no cap. Go make yourself a UUID, you've earned it 💖✨🎀🦋
