24 Tspi_TPM_ClearOwner wipes the TPM of everything but its endorsement
25 key. It will wipe the SRK, so anything locked to the SRK will also dis‐
26 appear when this command is executed. This is the only way to be cer‐
27 tain that keys are gone, as it is the only way to guarantee that noth‐
28 ing can keep a copy of the key. You must assert either physical pres‐
29 ence or owner authorization in order to use this command.

33 hTPM
34 The hTPM parameter is used to specify the handle of the TPM object.
35
36 fForcedClear
37 The fForcedClear parameter is used to tell whether this command is be‐
38 ing executed with owner authorization or with physical presence. If
39 FALSE, then TPM owner authorization is used. If TRUE, then physical
40 presence is required to clear the TPM.
