EFI_BLOCK_FLUSH

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_BLOCK_FLUSH) (IN EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL *This)

Flush the Block Device.

Parameters

This	Indicates a pointer to the calling context.

Return values

EFI_SUCCESS	All outstanding data was written to the device
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The device reported an error while writting back the data
EFI_NO_MEDIA	There is no media in the device.

Definition at line 120 of file BlockIo.h.

EFI_BLOCK_IO

typedef EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL EFI_BLOCK_IO

Protocol defined in EFI1.1.

Definition at line 30 of file BlockIo.h.

EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL

typedef struct _EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL

Definition at line 20 of file BlockIo.h.

EFI_BLOCK_READ

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_BLOCK_READ) (IN EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL *This, IN UINT32 MediaId, IN EFI_LBA Lba, IN UINTN BufferSize, OUT VOID *Buffer)

Read BufferSize bytes from Lba into Buffer.

Parameters

This	Indicates a pointer to the calling context.
MediaId	Id of the media, changes every time the media is replaced.
Lba	The starting Logical Block Address to read from
BufferSize	Size of Buffer, must be a multiple of device block size.
Buffer	A pointer to the destination buffer for the data. The caller is responsible for either having implicit or explicit ownership of the buffer.

Return values

EFI_SUCCESS	The data was read correctly from the device.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The device reported an error while performing the read.
EFI_NO_MEDIA	There is no media in the device.
EFI_MEDIA_CHANGED	The MediaId does not matched the current device.
EFI_BAD_BUFFER_SIZE	The Buffer was not a multiple of the block size of the device.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The read request contains LBAs that are not valid, or the buffer is not on proper alignment.

Definition at line 70 of file BlockIo.h.

EFI_BLOCK_RESET

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_BLOCK_RESET) (IN EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL *This, IN BOOLEAN ExtendedVerification)

Reset the Block Device.

Parameters

This	Indicates a pointer to the calling context.
ExtendedVerification	Driver may perform diagnostics on reset.

Return values

EFI_SUCCESS	The device was reset.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The device is not functioning properly and could not be reset.

Definition at line 44 of file BlockIo.h.

EFI_BLOCK_WRITE

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_BLOCK_WRITE) (IN EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL *This, IN UINT32 MediaId, IN EFI_LBA Lba, IN UINTN BufferSize, IN VOID *Buffer)

Write BufferSize bytes from Lba into Buffer.

Parameters

This	Indicates a pointer to the calling context.
MediaId	The media ID that the write request is for.
Lba	The starting logical block address to be written. The caller is responsible for writing to only legitimate locations.
BufferSize	Size of Buffer, must be a multiple of device block size.
Buffer	A pointer to the source buffer for the data.

Return values

EFI_SUCCESS	The data was written correctly to the device.
EFI_WRITE_PROTECTED	The device can not be written to.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The device reported an error while performing the write.
EFI_NO_MEDIA	There is no media in the device.
EFI_MEDIA_CHNAGED	The MediaId does not matched the current device.
EFI_BAD_BUFFER_SIZE	The Buffer was not a multiple of the block size of the device.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The write request contains LBAs that are not valid, or the buffer is not on proper alignment.
