Tspi_Context_FreeMemory(3)

💖 Tspi_Context_FreeMemory — Library Functions Manual, section 3 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the TCG Software Stack Developers Reference 🫶 this is Tspi_Context_FreeMemory(3) and she's here to help you not leak memory like it's a broken faucet. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Tspi_Context_FreeMemory — free allocated memory for a given context. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🦋 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_FreeMemory(TSS_HCONTEXT hContext, BYTE* rgbMemory);

look at all those includes, she's high maintenance but worth it, no cap 🎀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea, bestie: Tspi_Context_FreeMemory frees memory that the TSS Service Provider allocated, and it does it on a per-context basis. so like, every context gets its own lil memory pile and this function is the one that tidies it up 🧹

important!! you should call this before Tspi_Context_Close is called, otherwise you get memory leaks. and leaks are not the vibe. 💀

🍓 PARAMETERS 🍓

hContext

the hContext parameter is the handle to the local context. it's giving "your ticket to the party" 🎟️ — it tells the function which context's memory we're dealing with.

rgbMemory

the rgbMemory parameter is a pointer to the memory block that needs to be freed. and here's the iconic part: if this is NULL, all memory blocks bound to the context are freed. so NULL is basically the "clean the whole room" button 🧚✨

💜 RETURN CODES 💜

Tspi_Context_FreeMemory returns TSS_SUCCESS on success. otherwise, one of these lil gremlins comes back at you:

• TSS_E_INVALID_HANDLE — hContext is not a valid handle. ma'am, that handle is fake 😭
• TSS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR — an internal SW error has been detected. not our fault, something inside went sideways 💀

🌈 CONFORMING TO 🌈

Tspi_Context_FreeMemory conforms to the Trusted Computing Group Software Specification version 1.1 Golden. certified, official, ate 💅⭐
