DESCRIPTION
The efi_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.
