libtpms/man/man3/TPM_Malloc.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.

.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fB\f(BITPM_Malloc()\fB\fR function is used to allocate a buffer of the given size.
The allocated buffer will be returned in the \fIbuffer\fR parameter.
.PP
The \fB\f(BITPM_Realloc()\fB\fR function is used to resize a buffer. The new size of
the buffer is given in the \fIsize\fR parameter. The reallocated buffer will
contain the data from the original buffer.
.PP
Both functions have the restriction that the buffer they can allocate
is limited to \fB\s-1TPM_ALLOC_MAX\s0\fR (64k) bytes. This size is sufficent
for all buffers needed by the \s-1TPM\s0.
.PP
Upon successful completion, the functions return \fB\s-1TPM_SUCCESS\s0\fR. In case the
requested buffer exceeds the limit, \fB\s-1TPM_SIZE\s0\fR will be returned. See further
possible error codes below.
.PP
The \fB\f(BITPM_Free()\fB\fR function frees the memory previously allocated using
either \fB\f(BITPM_Malloc()\fB\fR or \fB\f(BITPM_Realloc()\fB\fR.
