## Function Documentation

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_PcrExtend (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context, uint32\_t pcr, uint8\_t const \* data, size\_t dataSize, char const \* logData)

One-Call function for Fapi\_PcrExtend

Performs an extend operation on a given PCR.

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT** \
 *pcr* The PCR to extend \
 *data* The data that is to be extended on the PCR \
 *dataSize* The size of data in bytes \
 *logData* A JSON representation of data to be written to the PCR's event log. May be NULL

**Return values**

*TSS2\_RC\_SUCCESS* if the function call was a success. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_REFERENCE* if context or data is NULL. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_CONTEXT* if context corruption is detected. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_PCR* if no such PCR exists on this TPM. \
 *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\_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\_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\_GENERAL\_FAILURE* if an internal error occurred. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_AUTHORIZATION\_UNKNOWN* if a required authorization callback is not set. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_AUTHORIZATION\_FAILED* if the authorization attempt fails. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_POLICY\_UNKNOWN* if policy search for a certain policy digest was not successful. \
 *TSS2\_ESYS\_RC\_\** possible error codes of ESAPI. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NOT\_PROVISIONED* FAPI was not provisioned. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_PATH* if the path is used in inappropriate context or contains illegal characters.

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_PcrExtend\_Async (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context, uint32\_t pcr, uint8\_t const \* data, size\_t dataSize, char const \* logData)

Asynchronous function for Fapi\_PcrExtend

Performs an extend operation on a given PCR.

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

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT** \
 *pcr* The PCR to extend \
 *data* The data that is to be extended on the PCR \
 *dataSize* The size of data in bytes \
 *logData* A JSON representation of data to be written to the PCR's event log. May be NULL

**Return values**

*TSS2\_RC\_SUCCESS* if the function call was a success. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_REFERENCE* if context or data is NULL. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_CONTEXT* if context corruption is detected. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_PCR* if no such PCR exists on this TPM. \
 *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\_BAD\_VALUE* if an invalid value was passed into the function. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_TPM* if FAPI was initialized in no-TPM-mode via its config file. \
 *TSS2\_ESYS\_RC\_\** possible error codes of ESAPI.

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_PcrExtend\_Finish (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context)

Asynchronous finish function for Fapi\_PcrExtend

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

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT**

**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\_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\_GENERAL\_FAILURE* if an internal error occurred. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_AUTHORIZATION\_UNKNOWN* if a required authorization callback is not set. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_AUTHORIZATION\_FAILED* if the authorization attempt fails. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_POLICY\_UNKNOWN* if policy search for a certain policy digest was not successful. \
 *TSS2\_ESYS\_RC\_\** possible error codes of ESAPI. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NOT\_PROVISIONED* FAPI was not provisioned. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_PATH* if the path is used in inappropriate context or contains illegal characters.
