Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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

Additional info:

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

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
