--vmid vmid The ID of the virtual machine
--optsfile file A file containing options to pass to swtpm_cert
--configfile file A file containing configuration parameters for directory,
signing key and password and certificate to use
--logfile file A file to write a log into
--tpm-spec-family s The implemented spec family, e.g., '2.0'
--tpm-spec-revision i The spec revision of the TPM as integer; e.g., 146
--tpm-spec-level i The spec level of the TPM; must be an integer; e.g. 0
--tpm-manufacturer s The manufacturer of the TPM; e.g., id:00001014
--tpm-model s The model of the TPM; e.g., 'swtpm'
--tpm-version i The (firmware) version of the TPM; e.g., id:20160511
--tpm2 Generate a certificate for a TPM 2
--allow-signing The TPM 2's EK can be used for signing
--decryption The TPM 2's EK can be used for decryption
--help, -h Display this help screen and exit
The following environment variables are supported:
