NAME

tss2_getrandom (1) - # SYNOPSIS

tss2_getrandom [ OPTIONS ]

SEE ALSO

fapi-config(5) to adjust Fapi parameters like the used cryptographic profile and TCTI or directories for the Fapi metadata storages.

fapi-profile(5) to determine the cryptographic algorithms and parameters for all keys and operations of a specific TPM interaction like the name hash algorithm, the asymmetric signature algorithm, scheme and parameters and PCR bank selection.

DESCRIPTION

tss2_getrandom (1) - This command uses the TPM to create an array of random bytes.

OPTIONS

These are the available options:

β€’

-n , --numBytes = INTEGER :

The number of bytes requested by the caller.

β€’

-f , --force :

Force overwriting the output file.

β€’

-o , --data = FILENAME or - (for stdout):

The returned random bytes.

β€’

--hex

Convert the output data to hex format without a leading β€œ0x”.

COMMON OPTIONS

This collection of options are common to all tss2 programs and provide information that many users may expect.

β€’

-h , --help [man|no-man] : Display the tools manpage. By default, it attempts to invoke the manpager for the tool, however, on failure will output a short tool summary. This is the same behavior if the β€œman” option argument is specified, however if explicit β€œman” is requested, the tool will provide errors from man on stderr. If the β€œno-man” option if specified, or the manpager fails, the short options will be output to stdout.

To successfully use the manpages feature requires the manpages to be installed or on MANPATH , See man (1) for more details.

β€’

-v , --version : Display version information for this tool, supported tctis and exit.

EXAMPLE

    tss2_getrandom --numBytes=20 --data=- | hexdump -C

RETURNS

0 on success or 1 on failure.
