DESCRIPTION
Theefi_get_table
()
function gets a table by uuid from the UEFI system table. Returns 0 if the
table was found and populates *ptr with the address. Returns
ENXIO
if the configuration table or system table are
unset. Returns ENOENT
if the requested table cannot be
found.
The
efi_get_time
()
function gets the current time from the RTC, if available. Returns 0 and
populates the struct efi_tm on success. Returns
EINVAL
if the struct efi_tm is
NULL
, or EIO
if the time
could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
The
efi_reset_system
()
function requests a warm reset and reboot of the system.
The
efi_set_time
()
function sets the time on the RTC to the time described by the
struct efi_tm passed in. Returns 0 on success,
EINVAL
if a time field is out of range, or
EIO
if the time could not be set due to a hardware
error.
The
efi_var_get
()
function fetches the variable identified by vendor and
name. Returns 0 and populates
attrib, datasize, and
data on success. Otherwise, one of the following
errors are returned:
ENOENT
- The variable was not found.
EOVERFLOW
- datasize is not sufficient to hold the variable data. namesize is updated to reflect the size needed to complete the request.
EINVAL
- One of name, vendor, or datasize are NULL. Alternatively, datasize is large enough to hold the response but data is NULL.
EIO
- The variable could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
EDOOFUS
- The variable could not be retireved due to an authentication failure.
The
efi_var_nextname
()
function is used for enumeration of variables. On the initial call to
efi_var_nextname
(), name
should be an empty string. Subsequent calls should pass in the last
name and vendor returned until
ENOENT
is returned. Returns 0 and populates
namesize, name, and
vendor with the next variable's data. Otherwise,
returns one of the following errors:
ENOENT
- The next variable was not found.
EOVERFLOW
- datasize is not sufficient to hold the variable data. namesize is updated to reflect the size needed to complete the request.
EINVAL
- One of name, vendor, or datasize are NULL.
EIO
- The variable could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
The
efi_var_set
()
function sets the variable described by name and
vendor. Returns 0 if the variable has been
successfully. Otherwise, returns one of the following errors:
EINVAL
- Either attrib was an invalid combination of attributes, datasize exceeds the maximum allowed size, or name is an empty Unicode stirng.
EAGAIN
- Not enough storage is available to hold the variable and its data.
EIO
- The variable could not be saved due to a hardware error.
EROFS
- The variable in question is read-only or may not be deleted.
EDOOFUS
- The varialbe could not be set due to an authentication failure.
ENOENT
- The variable trying to be updated or deleted was not found.
