DESCRIPTION

12       random bytes.
13

OPTIONS

15       These are the available options:
16
17       · -n, --numBytes INTEGER:
18
19         The number of bytes requested by the caller.
20
21       · -f, --force:
22
23         Force overwriting the output file.

28

COMMON OPTIONS

30       This collection of options are common to all tss2 programs and  provide
31       information that many users may expect.
32
33       · -h,  --help  [man|no-man]: Display the tools manpage.  By default, it
34         attempts to invoke the manpager for the  tool,  however,  on  failure
35         will  output  a short tool summary.  This is the same behavior if the
36         “man” option argument is specified, however if explicit “man” is  re‐
37         quested,  the  tool  will  provide errors from man on stderr.  If the
38         “no-man” option if specified, or the manpager fails,  the  short  op‐
39         tions will be output to stdout.
40
41         To  successfully use the manpages feature requires the manpages to be
42         installed or on MANPATH, See man(1) for more details.
43
44       · -v, --version: Display version information for this  tool,  supported
45         tctis and exit.
