+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<TPM_Malloc()> function is used to allocate a buffer of the given size.
+The allocated buffer will be returned in the I<buffer> parameter.
+
+The B<TPM_Realloc()> function is used to resize a buffer. The new size of
+the buffer is given in the I<size> parameter. The reallocated buffer will
+contain the data from the original buffer.
+
+Both functions have the restriction that the buffer they can allocate
+is limited to B<TPM_ALLOC_MAX> (64k) bytes. This size is sufficient
+for all buffers needed by the TPM.
+
+Upon successful completion, the functions return B<TPM_SUCCESS>. In case the
+requested buffer exceeds the limit, B<TPM_SIZE> will be returned. See further
+possible error codes below.
+
+The B<TPM_Free()> function frees the memory previously allocated using
+either B<TPM_Malloc()> or B<TPM_Realloc()>.
