Detailed Description

Device Path services. The thing to remember is device paths are built out of nodes. The device path is terminated by an end node that is length sizeof(EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL). That would be why there is sizeof(EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL) all over this file.

The only place where multi-instance device paths are supported is in environment varibles. Multi-instance device paths should never be placed on a Handle.

◆ 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

FirstDevicePath	A pointer to a device path data structure.
SecondDevicePath	A pointer to a device path data structure.

Return values

NULL	If there is not enough memory for the newly allocated buffer.
NULL	If FirstDevicePath or SecondDevicePath is invalid.
Others	A pointer to the new device path if success. Or a copy an end-of-device-path if both FirstDevicePath and SecondDevicePath are NULL.

◆ AppendDevicePathInstance()

EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *EFIAPI AppendDevicePathInstance	(	IN CONST EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *DevicePath	OPTIONAL,
		IN CONST EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *DevicePathInstance	OPTIONAL
	)

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 specified 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

DevicePath	A pointer to a device path data structure.
DevicePathInstance	A pointer to a device path instance.

Returns: A pointer to the new device path.

	)

Creates a new path by appending the device node to the device path.

This function creates a new device path by appending a copy of the device node specified by DevicePathNode to a copy of the device path specified by DevicePath in an allocated buffer. The end-of-device-path device node is moved after the end of the appended device node. If DevicePathNode is NULL then a copy of DevicePath is returned. If DevicePath is NULL then a copy of DevicePathNode, followed by an end-of-device path device node is returned. If both DevicePathNode and DevicePath are NULL then a copy of an end-of-device-path device node 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

DevicePath	A pointer to a device path data structure.
DevicePathNode	A pointer to a single device path node.

Return values

NULL	If there is not enough memory for the new device path.
Others	A pointer to the new device path if success. A copy of DevicePathNode followed by an end-of-device-path node if both FirstDevicePath and SecondDevicePath are NULL. A copy of an end-of-device-path node if both FirstDevicePath and SecondDevicePath are NULL.

◆ ConvertDeviceNodeToText()

CHAR16 *EFIAPI ConvertDeviceNodeToText	(	IN CONST EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *	DeviceNode,
		IN BOOLEAN	DisplayOnly,
		IN BOOLEAN	AllowShortcuts
	)

Converts a device node to its string representation.

Parameters

DeviceNode	A Pointer to the device node to be converted.
DisplayOnly	If DisplayOnly is TRUE, then the shorter text representation of the display node is used, where applicable. If DisplayOnly is FALSE, then the longer text representation of the display node is used.
AllowShortcuts	If AllowShortcuts is TRUE, then the shortcut forms of text representation for a device node can be used, where applicable.

Returns: A pointer to the allocated text representation of the device node or NULL if DeviceNode is NULL or there was insufficient memory.

◆ ConvertDevicePathToText()

CHAR16 *EFIAPI ConvertDevicePathToText	(	IN CONST EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *	DevicePath,
		IN BOOLEAN	DisplayOnly,
		IN BOOLEAN	AllowShortcuts
	)

Converts a device path to its text representation.

Parameters

DevicePath	A Pointer to the device to be converted.
DisplayOnly	If DisplayOnly is TRUE, then the shorter text representation of the display node is used, where applicable. If DisplayOnly is FALSE, then the longer text representation of the display node is used.
AllowShortcuts	If AllowShortcuts is TRUE, then the shortcut forms of text representation for a device node can be used, where applicable.

Returns: A pointer to the allocated text representation of the device path or NULL if DeviceNode is NULL or there was insufficient memory.

◆ ConvertTextToDeviceNode()

EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *EFIAPI ConvertTextToDeviceNode ( IN CONST CHAR16 * TextDeviceNode )

Convert text to the binary representation of a device node.

Parameters

TextDeviceNode TextDeviceNode points to the text representation of a device node. Conversion starts with the first character and continues until the first non-device node character.

Returns: A pointer to the EFI device node or NULL if TextDeviceNode is NULL or there was insufficient memory or text unsupported.

Definition at line 327 of file UefiDevicePathLib.c.

◆ ConvertTextToDevicePath()

EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *EFIAPI ConvertTextToDevicePath ( IN CONST CHAR16 * TextDevicePath )
