OUT UINT32 *  AuthenticationStatus 
)

Get the image file buffer data and buffer size by its device path.

Access the file either from a firmware volume, from a file system interface, or from the load file interface.

Allocate memory to store the found image. The caller is responsible to free memory.

If FilePath is NULL, then NULL is returned. If FileSize is NULL, then NULL is returned. If AuthenticationStatus is NULL, then NULL is returned.

Parameters
[in]BootPolicyPolicy for Open Image File.If TRUE, indicates that the request originates from the boot manager, and that the boot manager is attempting to load FilePath as a boot selection. If FALSE, then FilePath must match an exact file to be loaded.
[in]FilePathThe pointer to the device path of the file that is abstracted to the file buffer.
[out]FileSizeThe pointer to the size of the abstracted file buffer.
[out]AuthenticationStatusPointer to the authentication status.
Return values
NULLFilePath is NULL, or FileSize is NULL, or AuthenticationStatus is NULL, or the file can't be found.
otherThe abstracted file buffer. The caller is responsible to free memory.
