NAME

       tss2_getrandom(1) - # SYNOPSIS

       tss2_getrandom [OPTIONS]

SEE ALSO

       fapi-config(5)  to  adjust Fapi parameters like the used cryptographic profile and TCTI or
       directories for the Fapi metadata storages.

       fapi-profile(5) to determine the cryptographic algorithms and parameters for all keys  and
       operations  of  a  specific  TPM  interaction like the name hash algorithm, the asymmetric
       signature algorithm, scheme and parameters and PCR bank selection.

DESCRIPTION

       tss2_getrandom(1) - This command uses the TPM to create an array of random bytes.

OPTIONS

       These are the available options:

       • -n, --numBytes=INTEGER:

         The number of bytes requested by the caller.

       • -f, --force:

         Force overwriting the output file.

       • -o, --data=FILENAME or - (for stdout):

         The returned random bytes.

       • --hex

         Convert the output data to hex format without a leading “0x”.

COMMON OPTIONS

       This collection of options are common to all tss2 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.

EXAMPLE

                  tss2_getrandom --numBytes=20 --data=- | hexdump -C

RETURNS

       0 on success or 1 on failure.
