The error codes encode a bunch of values, so you won't see that value via a=
 straight grep.

But you can use tpm2_rc_decode from the tpm2-tools project, like so:
$ tpm2_rc_decode 0x2c4
tpm:parameter(2):value is out of range or is not correct for the contex

See the tools project:
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools

Note that the commands specification will show you what parameter 2 is:
https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TPM-Rev-2.0-Part-3-Com=
mands-01.38.pdf

Everything after the triple line starts the parameters starting at index 1.
So in this case the secret parameter is wrong.

Note that since TSS version 2.3.0 a software library was also added
for converting these return codes to more human understandable strings,
The header file is here:
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/blob/master/include/tss2/tss2_rc.h

and then you just link against lib tss2-rc, just in case you needed this bu=
ilt into
your program.
