 "SYNOPSIS"

 "DESCRIPTION"

Tspi_TPM_StirRandom adds entropy to the TPM
random number generator for the purpose of generating better random
numbers. The entropy variable should assigned an appropriately
seeded random number before this function is called.


 "PARAMETERS"


 hTPM
The hTPM parameter is used to specify the handle of the TPM
object. The command to get the TPM to test itself will be sent here.

 ulEntropyDataLength
The ulEntropyDataLength parameter is the length in bytes of
the rgbEntropyData parameter.

 rgbEntropyData
The rgbEntropyData parameter is a pointer to the entropy data.


 "RETURN CODES"

Tspi_TPM_StirRandom returns TSS_SUCCESS on success, otherwise
one of the following values is returned:


 TSS_E_INVALID_HANDLE hTPM is not a valid handle.



 TSS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR An internal SW error has been detected.



 TSS_E_BAD_PARAMETER One or more parameters is bad.


 "CONFORMING TO"



Tspi_TPM_StirRandom conforms to the Trusted Computing Group
Software Specification version 1.1 Golden
