🌸 NAME 🌸

Tspi_Context_Connect — connect a TSP to a Core Services daemon. yes that is literally the whole job. one (1) job. and she does it slayfully 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <tss/platform.h>
#include <tss/tcpa_defines.h>
#include <tss/tcpa_typedef.h>
#include <tss/tcpa_struct.h>
#include <tss/tss_typedef.h>
#include <tss/tss_structs.h>
#include <tss/tspi.h>

TSS_RESULT Tspi_Context_Connect(TSS_HCONTEXT hLocalContext, UNICODE* wszDestination);

like seven includes, bestie. SEVEN. she's high maintenance but she's worth it 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so Tspi_Context_Connect creates a connetion — yes the original says "connetion", I am not fixing her typo, she's iconic for it — between the application and the local or remote TSS System. that's it. that's the vibe. you got an app, you got a TSS System, and this function is the little matchmaker that introduces them 🫶

local or remote? your call, she's flexible 💅

---

🌈 PARAMETERS 🌈

🍓 hLocalContext

the handle to the context to be connected. that's your girl. the context. she needs a handle and this is it 💖

🧚 wszDestination

a null terminated unicode string which specifies the local or remote system to which one will be connected ✨

and listen, this part matters: if wszDestination is NULL, the connection will be to a local TCS. no destination, no problem, she just stays home 🏠

---

🔥 RETURN CODES 🔥

Tspi_Context_Connect returns TSS_SUCCESS on success, otherwise one of the following values are returned:

• TSS_E_INVALID_HANDLE — hLocalContext is an invalid handle. bestie. that handle is not real. she cannot work with that 😭
• TSS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR — An error occurred internal to the TSS. not your fault, not her fault, it's the TSS's fault. we don't talk about it 💀

---

👑 CONFORMING TO 👑

Tspi_Context_Connect conforms to the Trusted Computing Group Software Specification version 1.1 Golden — golden!! like her ✨⭐
