+Description:
+		This folder includes the attributes related with PPI (Physical
+		Presence Interface). Only if TPM is supported by BIOS, this
+		folder makes sense. The folder path can be got by command
+		'find /sys/ -name 'pcrs''. For the detail information of PPI,
+		please refer to the PPI specification from
+		http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/

+		This file can be read and written.

+		request it acted upon. The format is "<request> <response num>

+		operation to be executed in the pre-OS environment by the BIOS
+		for the requests defined by TCG, i.e. requests from 1 to 22.
+		The format is "<request> <status num>: <status description>".
+		This attribute is only supported by PPI version 1.2+.
+		This file is readonly.
