17                                 uint32_t *resp_size,
18                                 uint32_t *respbufsize,

DESCRIPTION

23       The TPMLIB_Process() function is used to send TPM commands to the TPM
24       and receive the results.
25
26       The command parameter provides the buffer for the TPM command and the
27       command_size the number of valid TPM command bytes within that buffer.
28
29       The respbuffer is a pointer to a buffer where the TPM will return its
30       result. If no buffer is given (respbuffer is NULL), the TPM will
31       allocate a buffer. The parameter resp_size returns the number of valid
32       TPM response bytes in the buffer. The number of valid bytes in the
33       response is guranteed to not exceed the maximum I/O buffer size. Use
34       the TPMLIB_GetTPMProperty() API and parameter TPMPROP_TPM_BUFFER_MAX
35       for getting the maximum size.  The user must indicate the size of a
36       provided buffer with the respbufsize parameter. If the  buffer is not
37       big enough for the response, the TPM will free the provided buffer and
38       allocate one of sufficient size and adapt respbufsize. The returned
39       buffer is only subject to size restrictions as explained for
40       TPM_Malloc().
