tpm_nvrelease releases an NVRAM area. The user must provide the index of
the NVRAM area. If owner authentication is required then the user must provide
the owner password.
Note that some areas cannot be released since they are permanent.
Others can be release only after a reboot of the system.
The following options are supported:
- -h, --help
- Display command usage info.
- -v, --version
- Display command version info.
- -l, --log [none|error|info|debug]
- Set logging level.
- -u, --unicode
- Use TSS UNICODE encoding for passwords to comply with applications using
TSS popup boxes
- -y, --owner-well-known
- Use a secret of all zeros (20 bytes of zeros) as the owner's secret.
- -o, --pwdo
- The owner password.
A password may be directly provided for example by using
'--pwdo=password' or '-opassword'. If no password is provided with this
option then the program will prompt the user for the password.
- -i, --index
- The index of the NVRAM area that is to be released. The parameter may
either be a decimal number or a hexadecimal number starting with
'0x'.
