SYNOPSIS

tpm2_nvincrement [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENT]

DESCRIPTION

tpm2_nvincrement(1) - Increment value of a Non-Volatile (NV) index setup as a counter. The index can be specified as raw handle or an offset value to the nv handle range "TPM2_HR_NV_INDEX".

OPTIONS

  • -C, --hierarchy=OBJECT:

    Specifies the hierarchy used to authorize. Supported options are: * o for TPM_RH_OWNER * p for TPM_RH_PLATFORM * <num> where a hierarchy handle or nv-index may be used.

    When -C isn't explicitly passed the index handle will be used to authorize against the index. The index auth value is set via the -p option to tpm2_nvdefine(1).

  • -P, --auth=AUTH:

    Specifies the authorization value for the hierarchy.

  • --cphash=FILE

    File path to record the hash of the command parameters. This is commonly termed as cpHash. NOTE: When this option is selected, The tool will not actually execute the command, it simply returns a cpHash unless rphash is also required.

  • -S, --session=FILE:
