<p>Program that allows handling cryptographic data from the TPM chip.

<p>This section was generated by <strong>AutoGen</strong>,
using the <code>agtexi-cmd</code> template and the option descriptions for the <code>tpmtool</code> program.

<h4 class="subsection">5.4.5 tpmtool help/usage (<samp>--help</samp>)</h4>
<a name="index-tpmtool-help"></a>

<p>This is the automatically generated usage text for tpmtool.
</p>
<p>The text printed is the same whether selected with the <code>help</code> option
(<samp>--help</samp>) or the <code>more-help</code> option (<samp>--more-help</samp>).  <code>more-help</code> will print
the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
<code>more-help</code> is disabled on platforms without a working
<code>fork(2)</code> function.  The <code>PAGER</code> environment variable is
used to select the program, defaulting to <samp>more</samp>.  Both will exit
with a status code of 0.

</p><ul>
<li> must appear in combination with the following options:
register.
</li><li> must not appear in combination with any of the following options:
system.
</li></ul>
