TPMLIB_MainInit - Initialize the TPM

The TPMLIB_MainInit() and TPMLIB_Terminate() functions are used to initialize and terminate the TPM respectively. The TPMLIB_MainInit() function must be called before the TPM processes any TPM command. The 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 TPMLIB_MainInit() function can then be called again. Use TPMLIB_RegisterCallbacks() to set callback functions for initialization and writing and restoring the internal state in a portable format.

TPM_SUCCESS The function completed successfully. TPM_FAIL General failure. For a complete list of TPM error codes please consult the include file libtpms/tpm_error.h
