TPMLIB_MainInit(3)

TPMLIB_MainInit3

Initialize the tpm tpmlib_terminate - terminate the tpm

Usage

#include <libtpms/tpm_types.h>

#include <libtpms/tpm_library.h>

#include <libtpms/tpm_error.h>

TPM_RESULT TPMLIB_MainInit(void);

TPM_RESULT TPMLIB_Terminate(void);

Library

TPM library (libtpms, -ltpms)

Overview

The TPMLIB_MainInit() and TPMLIB_Terminate() functions are used to initialize and terminate the TPM respectively. The TPMLIB_MainInit() function must be called before the TPM processes any TPM command. The TPMLIB_Terminate() function is called to free all the internal resources (memory allocations) the TPM has used and must be called after the last TPM command was processed by the TPM. The TPMLIB_MainInit() function can then be called again.

Use TPMLIB_RegisterCallbacks() to set callback functions for initialization and writing and restoring the internal state in a portable format.

Errors

TPM_SUCCESS

The function completed successfully.

TPM_FAIL

General failure.
