NAME

       tpm_setpresence- change TPM physical presence states or settings

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_setpresence [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_setpresence reports the status of the TPM's flags regarding physical presence.  This is the default
       behavior and also accessible via the --status option. Requesting a report of this status prompts for the
       owner password.  The --assert option changes the TPM to the physically present state.  The --clear option
       changes the TPM to the not present state.  The --lock option locks the TPM to the current physical
       presence state for the current boot cycle.  The --enable-cmd option allows the TPM to accept local
       commands to toggle physical presence states. The --disable-cmd option prevents the TPM from accepting
       local commands to toggle physical presence states.  The --enable-hw option allows the TPM to accept
       hardware signals to toggle physical presence states. The --disable-hw option prevents the TPM from
       accepting hardware signals to toggle physical presence states.  The --set-lifetime-lock option locks the
       Command and Hardware enablement flags in their current state permenantly.  This option can never be
       undone.  The system will attempt to use the owner password to display the current states before preceding
       unless the --yes option is given to answer yes to all questions.  All changes are made with the
       TSC_Physical Presence API.

       -c, --clear

       --lock Lock the assertions of physical presence in there current states until a reboot.

       --enable-cmd
              Allow use of commands to signal an admin is physically present.

       --disable-cmd
              Disallow use of commands to signal an admin is physically present.

       --enable-hw
              Allow use of hardware signals to signal an admin is physically present.

       --disable-hw
              Disallow use of hardware signals to signal an admin is physically present.

       --set-lifetime-lock
              Allow  no  further changes to the flags controling how physical presence can be signaled.  This is
