TPM_UNLOADKEY(8)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to tpm_unloadkey — she unloads a key from persistent storage. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tpm_loadkey [-r HOST] [-hv] UUID-FILE

(yes, the synopsis line says tpm_loadkey — that's literally what's written in the original, and I am not touching it, no cap 🫶)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this program unregisters the key that's associated with the UUID inside UUID-FILE. that's it. that's the job. she takes the UUID file, she finds the matching key, and she un-registers it. iconic behavior, honestly. 💅

the flags are giving very much "small but mighty" energy:

• -r HOST — do the operation on a remote HOST instead of staying local. long-distance relationship with your TPM, lowkey romantic 🌈
• -h — displays the command usage info. your girl is helpful like that 💖
• -v — displays the command version info. identity reveal moment ✨

heads up bestie: UUID-FILE is a real file and you do have to actually pass it. it's not optional, she's not doing a "guess the UUID" challenge 🎀
