Description Vilém Maršík 2018-04-23 15:09:50 UTC
Description of problem:
option '-o' from the manpage example is not recognized by tpm2_create

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tpm2-tools-3.0.1-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man tpm2_create
2. try the examples at the end:
EXAMPLES
              tpm2_create -H 0x81010001 -P abc123 -K def456 -g sha256 -G keyedhash-I data.File -o opu.File
(^ BTW, space missing before the '-I' option)
              tpm2_create -c parent.context -P abc123 -K def456 -g sha256 -G keyedhash -I data.File -o opu.File
              tpm2_create -H 0x81010001 -P 123abc -K 456def -X -g sha256 -G keyedhash -I data.File -o opu.File


Actual results:
# tpm2_create -H 0x81010001 -g sha256 -o opu.File
tpm2_create: invalid option -- 'o'
ERROR: Unknown Argument: o

Expected results:
only existing options in manpage example

Submitted a patch upstream to clean this up since it still exists. Will apply once accepted.

Comment 5 Vilém Maršík 2019-06-21 18:07:24 UTC
Manpage now shows examples without the nonexisting "-o" option:

EXAMPLES
              tpm2_create -H 0x81010001 -P abc123 -K def456 -g sha256 -G keyedhash-I data.File
              tpm2_create -c parent.context -P abc123 -K def456 -g sha256 -G keyedhash -I data.File
              tpm2_create -H 0x81010001 -P 123abc -K 456def -X -g sha256 -G keyedhash -I data.File

tpm2-tools-3.0.4-3.el7.x86_64
RHEL-7.7-20190614.n.0 Server x86_64
Setting verified.
