NAME

       tpm_takeownership - setup an owner on the TPM

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_takeownership [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_takeownership setup an owner on the system's TPM (via the TPM_TakeOwnership API).  This operation requires the TPM to be enabled and
       can be restricted by tpm_setownable.  The command will prompt for owner and SRK passwords and confirmations of these if executed without
       either of the -well-known options, otherwise, a secret of all zeros is set for the requested password.  After the second confirmation, be
       patient as the command may take awhile.
