NAME

       TPM_Malloc    - Allocate memory

       TPM_Realloc   - Reallocate memory

       TPM_Free      - Free memory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libtpms/tpm_types.h>

       #include <libtpms/tpm_memory.h>

       #include <libtpms/tpm_error.h>

       TPM_RESULT TPM_Malloc(unsigned char **buffer,
                              uint32_t size);

       TPM_RESULT TPM_Realloc(unsigned char **buffer,
                              uint32_t size);

       void TPM_Free(unsigned char *buffer);

DESCRIPTION

       The TPM_Malloc() function is used to allocate a buffer of the given size.  The allocated
       buffer will be returned in the buffer parameter.

       The TPM_Realloc() function is used to resize a buffer. The new size of the buffer is given
       in the size parameter. The reallocated buffer will contain the data from the original
       buffer.

       Both functions have the restriction that the buffer they can allocate is limited to
       TPM_ALLOC_MAX (64k) bytes. This size is sufficient for all buffers needed by the TPM.

       Upon successful completion, the functions return TPM_SUCCESS. In case the requested buffer
       exceeds the limit, TPM_SIZE will be returned. See further possible error codes below.

       The TPM_Free() function frees the memory previously allocated using either TPM_Malloc() or
       TPM_Realloc().

ERRORS

       TPM_SUCCESS
           The function completed successfully.

       TPM_SIZE
           The size of the requested buffer exceeds the limit or the system is out of memory.

       TPM_FAIL
           Requested buffer is of size 0.
