                     TPM Management - tpm_setoperatorauth

NAME
       tpm_setoperatorauth - sets the operator authorization value in the TPM

SYNOPSIS
       tpm_setoperatorauth [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       tpm_setoperatorauth allows setting the operator authorization value in
       the TPM (via the TPM_SetOperatorAuth API).  This operation prompts for
       the new password and a confirmation of it. The --well-known option
       tells the API to use the default TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET (a 20-bytes
       array of zeros) as operator authorization information, instead of
       prompting for one.

       -l, --log [none|error|info|debug]

       -u, --unicode
              Use TSS UNICODE encoding for passwords to comply with
              applications using TSS popup boxes

       -z, --well-known
              Use the default TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET 20-bytes array of zeros as
              the operator password.

       -p, --op_password_unicode
              Use TSS UNICODE encoding for new operator password to comply
