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(BITPMLIB_Process()\fB\fR function is used to send \s-1TPM\s0 commands to the \s-1TPM\s0
and receive the results.
.PP
The \fIcommand\fR parameter provides the buffer for the \s-1TPM\s0 command and
the \fIcommand_size\fR the number of valid \s-1TPM\s0 command bytes within that buffer.
.PP
The \fIrespbuffer\fR is a pointer to a buffer where the \s-1TPM\s0 will return its
result. If no buffer is given (\fIrespbuffer\fR is \s-1NULL\s0), the \s-1TPM\s0 will
allocate a buffer. The parameter \fIresp_size\fR returns the number of valid
\&\s-1TPM\s0 response bytes in the buffer. The number of valid bytes in the response
is guranteed to not exceed the maximum I/O buffer size. Use the
\&\fI\fITPMLIB_GetTPMProperty()\fI\fR \s-1API\s0 and parameter \fI\s-1TPMPROP_TPM_BUFFER_MAX\s0\fR for
getting the maximum size.
The user must indicate the size of a provided buffer with the \fIrespbufsize\fR
parameter. If the buffer is not big enough for the response, the \s-1TPM\s0 will
free the provided buffer and allocate one of sufficient size and adapt
\&\fIrespbufsize\fR. The returned buffer is only subject to size restrictions
as explained for \fI\fITPM_Malloc()\fI\fR.
