Fapi\_GetAppData

## NAME

Fapi\_GetAppData - Fapi\_GetAppData

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions

TSS2\_RC **Fapi\_GetAppData** (**FAPI\_CONTEXT** \*context, char const \*path, uint8\_t \*\*appData, size\_t \*appDataSize)\
 TSS2\_RC **Fapi\_GetAppData\_Async** (**FAPI\_CONTEXT** \*context, char const \*path)\
 TSS2\_RC **Fapi\_GetAppData\_Finish** (**FAPI\_CONTEXT** \*context, uint8\_t \*\*appData, size\_t \*appDataSize)\

## Detailed Description

FAPI functions to invoke GetAppData either as one-call or in an asynchronous manner.

## Function Documentation

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_GetAppData (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context, char const \* path, uint8\_t \*\* appData, size\_t \* appDataSize)

One-Call function for Fapi\_GetAppData

Every object has a description field that can be retrieved in order to obtain additional information in its "path" entry.

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT** \
 *path* The path to the object for which the appData is returned \
 *appData* A copy of the appData. May be NULL (callee-allocated) \
 *appDataSize* The size of the returned AppData. May be NULL

**Return values**

*TSS2\_RC\_SUCCESS* if the function call was a success. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_REFERENCE* if context or path is NULL. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_CONTEXT* if context corruption is detected. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_PATH* if path does not map to a FAPI entity. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_SEQUENCE* if the context has an asynchronous operation already pending. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_IO\_ERROR* if the data cannot be saved. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_MEMORY* if the FAPI cannot allocate enough memory for internal operations or return parameters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_TPM* if FAPI was initialized in no-TPM-mode via its config file. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_PATH\_NOT\_FOUND* if a FAPI object path was not found during authorization. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_KEY\_NOT\_FOUND* if a key was not found. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_VALUE* if an invalid value was passed into the function. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_TRY\_AGAIN* if an I/O operation is not finished yet and this function needs to be called again. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_GENERAL\_FAILURE* if an internal error occurred. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NOT\_PROVISIONED* FAPI was not provisioned.

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_GetAppData\_Async (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context, char const \* path)

Asynchronous function for Fapi\_GetAppData

Every object has a description field that can be retrieved in order to obtain additional information in its "path" entry.

Call Fapi\_GetAppData\_Finish to finish the execution of this command.

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT** \
 *path* The path to the object for which the appData is returned

**Return values**

*TSS2\_RC\_SUCCESS* if the function call was a success. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_REFERENCE* if context or path is NULL. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_CONTEXT* if context corruption is detected. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_PATH* if path does not map to a FAPI entity. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_SEQUENCE* if the context has an asynchronous operation already pending. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_IO\_ERROR* if the data cannot be saved. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_MEMORY* if the FAPI cannot allocate enough memory for internal operations or return parameters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_TPM* if FAPI was initialized in no-TPM-mode via its config file. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_PATH\_NOT\_FOUND* if a FAPI object path was not found during authorization. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_KEY\_NOT\_FOUND* if a key was not found. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_VALUE* if an invalid value was passed into the function. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NOT\_PROVISIONED* FAPI was not provisioned.

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_GetAppData\_Finish (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context, uint8\_t \*\* appData, size\_t \* appDataSize)

Asynchronous finish function for Fapi\_GetAppData

This function should be called after a previous Fapi\_GetAppData\_Async.

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT** \
 *appData* A copy of the appData. May be Null (callee-allocated) \
 *appDataSize* The size of the returned AppData. May be NULL

**Return values**

*TSS2\_RC\_SUCCESS* if the function call was a success. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_REFERENCE* if context is NULL. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_CONTEXT* if context corruption is detected. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_SEQUENCE* if the context has an asynchronous operation already pending. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_IO\_ERROR* if the data cannot be saved. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_MEMORY* if the FAPI cannot allocate enough memory for internal operations or return parameters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_TRY\_AGAIN* if the asynchronous operation is not yet complete. Call this function again later. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_PATH* if a path is used in inappropriate context or contains illegal characters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_GENERAL\_FAILURE* if an internal error occurred. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_VALUE* if an invalid value was passed into the function.
