tpm_getpcrhash

GET TPM PCR 
HASH(8)													       GET TPM PCR HASH(8)

NAME

       tpm_getpcrhash

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_getpcrhash [-r HOST] [-hv] UUID-FILE HASH-FILE PCR-VALUE-FILE PCRS

DESCRIPTION

       The program returns the signed data produced by a TPM quote in the file HASH-FILE and the list of Platform Configuration Register values in
       the file PCR-VALUE-FILE.  PCRS is a sequence of integers that specify the Platform Configuration Registers used to produce the signed data.
       The  key  used  for  the  operation is the one registered under the UUID in UUID-FILE.  The nonce used while quoting is unpredictable.  The
       nonce field in the signed data is ignored when using the signed data to verify a quote.

       -r HOST
	      Perform operation on remote HOST.

       -h     Display command usage info.

       -v     Display command version info.
