% tpm2(1) tpm2-tools | General Commands Manual
tpm2(1) - A single small executable that combines the various tpm2-tools much like a BusyBox that provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.
tpm2 [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]
tpm2(1) - To ease installation of tpm2-tools in initrd or embedded systems where size-optimization and limited resources are important, it is convenient to have a single executable that can dispatch the various TPM2 functionalities specified by the argument which is one of the available tool names.
The options and arguments that follow are either the common options or those specific to the tool name.
It is important to note that individual tools with prefix tpm2_ can still be invoked, however, they are now soft-linked to this tpm2 executable. And so unlike BusyBox, full functionality of the individual tools is available in the executable. For example: tpm2_getrandom 8 can alternatively be specified as tpm2 getrandom 8.
List of possible tool names. NOTE: Specify only one of these. Look at examples.
