COMMON OPTIONS

       This collection of options are common to many programs and provide information  that  many
       users may expect.

       • -h,  --help=[man|no-man]:  Display the tools manpage.  By default, it attempts to invoke
         the manpager for the tool, however, on failure will output a short tool  summary.   This
         is  the  same  behavior  if  the “man” option argument is specified, however if explicit
         “man” is requested, the tool will provide errors from man on stderr.   If  the  “no-man”
         option if specified, or the manpager fails, the short options will be output to stdout.

         To  successfully  use  the  manpages feature requires the manpages to be installed or on
         MANPATH, See man(1) for more details.

       • -v, --version: Display version information for this tool, supported tctis and exit.

       • -V, --verbose: Increase the information that the tool prints to the console  during  its
         execution.  When using this option the file and line number are printed.

       • -Q, --quiet: Silence normal tool output to stdout.

       • -Z, --enable-errata: Enable the application of errata fixups.  Useful if an errata fixup
         needs  to  be  applied  to  commands  sent  to  the  TPM.   Defining   the   environment
         TPM2TOOLS_ENABLE_ERRATA is equivalent.  information many users may expect.

EXAMPLES

              tpm2_rc_decode 0x1d5
