NAME

       systemd-tpm2-generator - Generator for inserting TPM2 synchronization point in the boot process

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-tpm2-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-tpm2-generator is a generator that adds a Wants= dependency from sysinit.target to tpm2.target
       when it detects that the firmware discovered a TPM2 device but the OS kernel so far did not.  tpm2.target
       is supposed to act as synchronization point for all services that require TPM2 device access. See
       systemd.special(7) for details.

       The systemd.tpm2_wait= kernel command line option may be used to override behaviour of the generator. It
       accepts a boolean value: if true then tpm2.target will be added as synchronization point even if the
       firmware has not detected a TPM2 device. If false, the target will not be inserted even if firmware
       reported a device but the OS kernel does not expose a device for it yet. The latter might be useful in
       environments where a suitable TPM2 driver for the available hardware is not available.

       systemd-tpm2-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
