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.

=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.
=head1 ERRORS
=over 4
=item B<TPM_SUCCESS>
The function completed sucessfully.
=item B<TPM_FAIL>
General failure.
=back
