.SH NAME
\f[B]tpm2_policyor\f[R](1) - logically OR\[cq]s two policies together.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\f[B]tpm2_policyor\f[R] [\f[I]OPTIONS\f[R]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\f[B]tpm2_policyor\f[R](1) - Generates a policy_or event with the TPM.
It expects a session to be already established via
\f[B]tpm2_startauthsession\f[R](1).
If the input session is a trial session this tool generates a policy
digest that compounds two or more input policy digests such that the
resulting policy digest requires at least one of the policy events being
true.
If the input session is real policy session \f[B]tpm2_policyor\f[R](1)
authenticates the object successfully if at least one of the policy
events are true.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-L\f[R], \f[B]--policy\f[R]=\f[I]FILE\f[R]:
.RS 2
.PP
File to save the compounded policy digest.
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-S\f[R], \f[B]--session\f[R]=\f[I]FILE\f[R]:
.RS 2
.PP
The policy session file generated via the \f[B]-S\f[R] option to
\f[B]tpm2_startauthsession\f[R](1).
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]ARGUMENT\f[R] the command line argument specifies the list of files
for the policy digests that has to be compounded resulting in individual
policies being added to final policy digest that can authenticate the
object.
The list begins with the policy digest hash alg.
Example sha256:policy1,policy2
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-l\f[R], \f[B]--policy-list\f[R]=\f[I]POLICY_FILE\f[R]_LIST:
.RS 2
.PP
This option is DEPRECATED yet is retained for backwards compatibility.
Use the argument method instead.
\f[B]NOTE\f[R]: When \f[B]-l\f[R] and an argument is specified it\[cq]s
the same as specifying it all at once.
For instance: \f[CR]tpm2_policyor -l sha256:file1 sha256:file2\f[R] is
the same as \f[CR]tpm2_policyor sha256:file1,file2\f[R].

.SH COMMON OPTIONS
This collection of options are common to many programs and provide
information that many users may expect.
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-h\f[R], \f[B]--help=[man|no-man]\f[R]: 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 \[lq]man\[rq] option argument is
specified, however if explicit \[lq]man\[rq] is requested, the tool will
provide errors from man on stderr.
If the \[lq]no-man\[rq] option if specified, or the manpager fails, the
short options will be output to stdout.
.RS 2
.PP
To successfully use the manpages feature requires the manpages to be
installed or on \f[I]MANPATH\f[R], See man(1) for more details.
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-v\f[R], \f[B]--version\f[R]: Display version information for this
tool, supported tctis and exit.
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-V\f[R], \f[B]--verbose\f[R]: Increase the information that the
tool prints to the console during its execution.
When using this option the file and line number are printed.
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-Q\f[R], \f[B]--quiet\f[R]: Silence normal tool output to stdout.
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-Z\f[R], \f[B]--enable-errata\f[R]: Enable the application of
errata fixups.
Useful if an errata fixup needs to be applied to commands sent to the
TPM.
Defining the environment TPM2TOOLS_ENABLE_ERRATA is equivalent.
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]-R\f[R], \f[B]--autoflush\f[R]: Enable autoflush for transient
objects created by the command.
If a parent object is loaded from a context file also the transient
parent object will be flushed.
Autoflush can also be activated if the environment variable
TPM2TOOLS_AUTOFLUSH is is set to yes or true.
information many users may expect.
.SH TCTI Configuration
The TCTI or \[lq]Transmission Interface\[rq] is the communication
mechanism with the TPM.
TCTIs can be changed for communication with TPMs across different
mediums.
.PP
To control the TCTI, the tools respect:
.IP "1." 3
The command line option \f[B]-T\f[R] or \f[B]--tcti\f[R]
.IP "2." 3
The environment variable: \f[I]TPM2TOOLS_TCTI\f[R].
.PP
\f[B]Note:\f[R] The command line option always overrides the environment
variable.
.PP
The current known TCTIs are:
.IP \[bu] 2
tabrmd - The resource manager, called \c
.UR https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-abrmd
tabrmd
.UE \c
\&.
Note that tabrmd and abrmd as a tcti name are synonymous.
.IP \[bu] 2
mssim - Typically used for communicating to the TPM software simulator.
.IP \[bu] 2
device - Used when talking directly to a TPM device file.
.IP \[bu] 2
none - Do not initalize a connection with the TPM.
Some tools allow for off-tpm options and thus support not using a TCTI.
Tools that do not support it will error when attempted to be used
without a TCTI connection.
Does not support \f[I]ANY\f[R] options and \f[I]MUST BE\f[R] presented
as the exact text of \[lq]none\[rq].
.PP
The arguments to either the command line option or the environment
variable are in the form:
.PP
\f[CR]<tcti-name>:<tcti-option-config>\f[R]
.PP
Specifying an empty string for either the \f[CR]<tcti-name>\f[R] or
\f[CR]<tcti-option-config>\f[R] results in the default being used for
that portion respectively.
.SS TCTI Defaults
When a TCTI is not specified, the default TCTI is searched for using
\f[I]dlopen(3)\f[R] semantics.
The tools will search for \f[I]tabrmd\f[R], \f[I]device\f[R] and
\f[I]mssim\f[R] TCTIs \f[B]IN THAT ORDER\f[R] and \f[B]USE THE FIRST ONE
FOUND\f[R].
You can query what TCTI will be chosen as the default by using the
\f[B]-v\f[R] option to print the version information.
The \[lq]default-tcti\[rq] key-value pair will indicate which of the
aforementioned TCTIs is the default.
.SS Custom TCTIs
Any TCTI that implements the dynamic TCTI interface can be loaded.
The tools internally use \f[I]dlopen(3)\f[R], and the raw
\f[I]tcti-name\f[R] value is used for the lookup.
Thus, this could be a path to the shared library, or a library name as
understood by \f[I]dlopen(3)\f[R] semantics.
.SH TCTI OPTIONS
This collection of options are used to configure the various known TCTI
modules available:
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]device\f[R]: For the device TCTI, the TPM character device file for
use by the device TCTI can be specified.
The default is \f[I]/dev/tpm0\f[R].
.RS 2
.PP
Example: \f[B]-T device:/dev/tpm0\f[R] or \f[B]export
\f[BI]TPM2TOOLS_TCTI\f[B]=\[lq]device:/dev/tpm0\[rq]\f[R]
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]mssim\f[R]: For the mssim TCTI, the domain name or IP address and
port number used by the simulator can be specified.
The default are 127.0.0.1 and 2321.
.RS 2
.PP
Example: \f[B]-T mssim:host=localhost,port=2321\f[R] or \f[B]export
\f[BI]TPM2TOOLS_TCTI\f[B]=\[lq]mssim:host=localhost,port=2321\[rq]\f[R]
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]abrmd\f[R]: For the abrmd TCTI, the configuration string format is
a series of simple key value pairs separated by a `,' character.
Each key and value string are separated by a `=' character.
.RS 2
.IP \[bu] 2
TCTI abrmd supports two keys:
.RS 2
.IP "1." 3
`bus_name' : The name of the tabrmd service on the bus (a string).
.IP "2." 3
`bus_type' : The type of the dbus instance (a string) limited to
`session' and `system'.

.SH Limitations
It expects a session to be already established via
\f[B]tpm2_startauthsession\f[R](1) and requires one of the following:
.IP \[bu] 2
direct device access
.IP \[bu] 2
extended session support with \f[B]tpm2-abrmd\f[R].
.PP
Without it, most resource managers \f[B]will not\f[R] save session state
between command invocations.
