🌸 NAME 🌸

tpm_buf_init — literally just Initialize a TPM command. that's the whole vibe. it sets things up. it's the setup friend. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void tpm_buf_init (struct tpm_buf *buf , u16 buf_size );

look at her. void, so she doesn't return anything — she just does it. main character energy, no receipts needed 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• buf — a tpm_buf. that's it, that's the whole description. she's a tpm_buf, she gets passed in, we move on 😌✨
• buf_size — Size of the buffer. the big one. the capacity. how much room your tpm_buf gets to have when tpm_buf_init does her thing 🦋

ngl this page is short and sweet and that's the point — tpm_buf_init takes a struct tpm_buf * and a u16 size, gives you nothing back, and that's the entire plot 🎀
