NAME

       tpm_restrictpubek  -  restrict  the  ability  to display the public portion of the Endorsement Key to the
       owner

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_restrictpubek [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_restrictpubek reports the status of who can display the public portion of the Endorsement Key.  This
       is the default behavior and also available with the --status option.  This operation will be in effect
       until the owner is cleared and prompts for the owner passord. With the --restrict option, the ability to
       display the public portion of the Endorsement Key is resticted to the owner (via the TPM_DisablePubekRead
       API).  The command prompts for the owner password to complete the operation.   The --status and
       --restrict options are mutually exclusive and the last one on the command line will be carried out.
