Stefan Berger 63433c5be1 man: Leave note about leaving store- and loaddata functions unset
Leave a note in the TPMLIB_RegisterCallbacks() function about
the effects of leaving the store- and loaddata functions in the
interface unset.

Leave another not in TPMLIB_MainInit() to not use the library without
calling TPMLIB_RegiserCallbacks().

=head1 NAME
TPMLIB_MainInit - Initialize the TPM
TPMLIB_Terminate - Terminate the TPM
=head1 LIBRARY
TPM library (libtpms, -ltpms)
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<#include <libtpms/tpm_types.h>>
B<#include <libtpms/tpm_library.h>>
B<#include <libtpms/tpm_error.h>>
B<TPM_RESULT TPMLIB_MainInit(void);>
B<TPM_RESULT TPMLIB_Terminate(void);>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<TPMLIB_MainInit()> and B<TPMLIB_Terminate()> functions are used
to initialize and terminate the TPM respectively. The B<TPMLIB_MainInit()>
function must be called before the TPM processes any TPM command.
The B<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 B<TPMLIB_MainInit()>
function can then be called again.
Use B<TPMLIB_RegisterCallbacks()> to set callback functions for
initialization and writing and restoring the internal state in a
portable format.
=head1 ERRORS
=over 4
=item B<TPM_SUCCESS>
The function completed sucessfully.
=item B<TPM_FAIL>
General failure.
=back
