libtpms/man/man3/TPMLIB_GetTPMProperty.3
Corey Bryant a0098eda2d Initial import of project
This is the initial import of the libtpms library.  The libtpms library
provides software emulation of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM).  It is
intended to be used by applications when a hardware TPM is not adequate.
For example, a hypervisor can use libtpms to emulate an independent TPM
for each of it's virtual machine guests.  The library provides a high-
level API for developers to integrate the emulated TPM support into
their application.

The code was originally written by Kenneth Goldman <kgoldman@us.ibm.com>
and Stefan Berger <stefanb@us.ibm.com>.

The code is licensed under the Modified BSD License.
