TSS_RESULT Tspi_TPM_GetCapability(TSS_HTPM hTPM, TSS_FLAG capArea,
UINT32 ulSubCapLength, BYTE* rgbSubCap,
UINT32* pulRespDataLength, BYTE** prgbRespData);
DESCRIPTION
Tspi_TPM_GetCapability gets information on various capabilities of the
TPM. This command can be used to learn how many PCRs the TPM supports,
etc.
PARAMETERS
hTPM
The hTPM parameter is used to specify the handle of the TPM object.
capArea
The capArea parameter is the flag indicating the attribute to query.
Possible values are:
ulSubCapLength
The ulSubCapLength parameter is the length in bytes of the rgbSubCap
parameter.
rgbSubCap
The rgbSubCap parameter is the data indicating the attribute to query.
Possible values are:
pulRespDataLength
The pulRespDataLength parameter is the length in bytes of the
prgbRespData parameter.
prgbRespData
The prgbRespData parameter receives a pointer to the actual data of the
specified attribute.
NOTES
The following Capability Areas and Sub-Capability Areas are supported
by 1.1 TSS’s:
TSS_TPMCAP_ORD - query whether an ordinal is supported by the TPM.
subCaps: TPM_ORD_* (see tcpa_literals.h)
TSS_TPMCAP_FLAG - query for the volatile and non-volatile flags inside
the TPM. (Must be owner authorized). In this case, the 2 UINT32 values
will be returned concatenated together in prgbRespData.
subCaps: ignored.
TSS_TPMCAP_ALG - query whether an algorithm is supported by the TPM.
subCaps: TSS_ALG_RSA
TSS_ALG_DES
TSS_ALG_3DES
TSS_ALG_SHA
TSS_ALG_HMAC
TSS_ALG_AES
TSS_TPMCAP_PROPERTY - query a property of the TPM.
subCaps: TSS_TPMCAP_PROP_PCR
TSS_TPMCAP_PROP_DIR
TSS_TPMCAP_PROP_MANUFACTURER
TSS_TPMCAP_PROP_SLOTS
TSS_TPMCAP_VERSION - get the TSS_VERSION structure tha identifies the
TPM.
subCaps: ignored.
RETURN CODES
Tspi_TPM_GetCapability returns TSS_SUCCESS on success, otherwise one of
the following values is returned:
TSS_E_INVALID_HANDLE
hTPM is not a valid handle.
TSS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal SW error has been detected.
TSS_E_BAD_PARAMETER
One or more parameters is bad.
