◆ AppendDevicePath()

EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *EFIAPI AppendDevicePath ( IN CONST EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *FirstDevicePath  OPTIONAL,
IN CONST EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *SecondDevicePath  OPTIONAL 
)

Creates a new device path by appending a second device path to a first device path.

This function creates a new device path by appending a copy of SecondDevicePath to a copy of FirstDevicePath in a newly allocated buffer. Only the end-of-device-path device node from SecondDevicePath is retained. The newly created device path is returned. If FirstDevicePath is NULL, then it is ignored, and a duplicate of SecondDevicePath is returned. If SecondDevicePath is NULL, then it is ignored, and a duplicate of FirstDevicePath is returned. If both FirstDevicePath and SecondDevicePath are NULL, then a copy of an end-of-device-path is returned. If there is not enough memory for the newly allocated buffer, then NULL is returned. The memory for the new device path is allocated from EFI boot services memory. It is the responsibility of the caller to free the memory allocated.

Parameters
FirstDevicePathA pointer to a device path data structure.
SecondDevicePathA pointer to a device path data structure.
Return values
NULLIf there is not enough memory for the newly allocated buffer.
NULLIf FirstDevicePath or SecondDevicePath is invalid.
OthersA pointer to the new device path if success. Or a copy an end-of-device-path if both FirstDevicePath and SecondDevicePath are NULL.

Creates a new device path by appending the specified device path instance to the specified device path.

This function creates a new device path by appending a copy of the device path instance specified by DevicePathInstance to a copy of the device path secified by DevicePath in a allocated buffer. The end-of-device-path device node is moved after the end of the appended device path instance and a new end-of-device-path-instance node is inserted between. If DevicePath is NULL, then a copy if DevicePathInstance is returned. If DevicePathInstance is NULL, then NULL is returned. If DevicePath or DevicePathInstance is invalid, then NULL is returned. If there is not enough memory to allocate space for the new device path, then NULL is returned. The memory is allocated from EFI boot services memory. It is the responsibility of the caller to free the memory allocated.

Parameters
DevicePathA pointer to a device path data structure.
