.SH "NAME"
systemd-tpm2-generator \- Generator for inserting TPM2 synchronization point in the boot process
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
/usr/lib/systemd/system\-generators/systemd\-tpm2\-generator
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
systemd\-tpm2\-generator
is a generator that adds a
\fIWants=\fR
dependency from
sysinit\&.target
to
tpm2\&.target
when it detects that the firmware discovered a TPM2 device but the OS kernel so far did not\&.
tpm2\&.target
is supposed to act as synchronization point for all services that require TPM2 device access\&. See
\fBsystemd.special\fR(7)
for details\&.
.PP
The
\fBsystemd\&.tpm2_wait=\fR
kernel command line option may be used to override behaviour of the generator\&. It accepts a boolean value: if true then
tpm2\&.target
will be added as synchronization point even if the firmware has not detected a TPM2 device\&. If false, the target will not be inserted even if firmware reported a device but the OS kernel doesn\*(Aqt expose a device for it yet\&. The latter might be useful in environments where a suitable TPM2 driver for the available hardware is not available\&.
.PP
systemd\-tpm2\-generator
implements
\fBsystemd.generator\fR(7)\&.
