EFI_SUCCESSthe file handle was closed successfully.

Definition at line 239 of file UefiFileHandleLib.c.

◆ FileHandleDelete()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleDelete ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  FileHandle)

Delete a file and close the handle

This function closes and deletes a file. In all cases the file handle is closed. If the file cannot be deleted, the warning code EFI_WARN_DELETE_FAILURE is returned, but the handle is still closed.

Parameters
FileHandlethe file handle to delete
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSthe file was closed successfully
EFI_WARN_DELETE_FAILUREthe handle was closed, but the file was not deleted
INVALID_PARAMETEROne of the parameters has an invalid value.

Definition at line 272 of file UefiFileHandleLib.c.

◆ FileHandleEof()

BOOLEAN EFIAPI FileHandleEof ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  Handle)

Function to determine if a FILE_HANDLE is at the end of the file.

This will NOT work on directories.

If Handle is NULL, then return False.

Parameters
[in]Handlethe file handle
Return values
TRUEthe position is at the end of the file
FALSEthe position is not at the end of the file

Definition at line 1284 of file UefiFileHandleLib.c.

◆ FileHandleFindFirstFile()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleFindFirstFile ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  DirHandle,
OUT EFI_FILE_INFO **  Buffer 
)

Retrieve first entry from a directory.

This function takes an open directory handle and gets information from the first entry in the directory. A buffer is allocated to contain the information and a pointer to the buffer is returned in *Buffer. The caller can use FileHandleFindNextFile() to get subsequent directory entries.

The buffer will be freed by FileHandleFindNextFile() when the last directory entry is read. Otherwise, the caller must free the buffer, using FreePool, when finished with it.

Parameters
[in]DirHandleThe file handle of the directory to search.
[out]BufferThe pointer to pointer to buffer for file's information.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSFound the first file.
EFI_NOT_FOUNDCannot find the directory.
EFI_NO_MEDIAThe device has no media.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORThe device reported an error.
EFI_VOLUME_CORRUPTEDThe file system structures are corrupted.
Returns
Others status of FileHandleGetInfo, FileHandleSetPosition, or FileHandleRead

◆ FileHandleFindNextFile()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleFindNextFile ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  DirHandle,
OUT EFI_FILE_INFO Buffer,
OUT BOOLEAN *  NoFile 
)

Retrieve next entries from a directory.

To use this function, the caller must first call the FileHandleFindFirstFile() function to get the first directory entry. Subsequent directory entries are retrieved by using the FileHandleFindNextFile() function. This function can be called several times to get each entry from the directory. If the call of FileHandleFindNextFile() retrieved the last directory entry, the next call of this function will set *NoFile to TRUE and free the buffer.

Parameters
[in]DirHandleThe file handle of the directory.
[out]BufferThe pointer to buffer for file's information.
[out]NoFileThe pointer to boolean when last file is found.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSFound the next file, or reached last file

◆ FileHandleRead()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleRead ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  FileHandle,
IN OUT UINTN BufferSize,
OUT VOID *  Buffer 
)

This function reads information from an opened file.

If FileHandle is not a directory, the function reads the requested number of bytes from the file at the file's current position and returns them in Buffer. If the read goes beyond the end of the file, the read length is truncated to the end of the file. The file's current position is increased by the number of bytes returned. If FileHandle is a directory, the function reads the directory entry at the file's current position and returns the entry in Buffer. If the Buffer is not large enough to hold the current directory entry, then EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned and the current file position is not updated. BufferSize is set to be the size of the buffer needed to read the entry. On success, the current position is updated to the next directory entry. If there are no more directory entries, the read returns a zero-length buffer. EFI_FILE_INFO is the structure returned as the directory entry.

Parameters
FileHandlethe opened file handle
BufferSizeon input the size of buffer in bytes. on return the number of bytes written.
Bufferthe buffer to put read data into.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSData was read.
EFI_NO_MEDIAThe device has no media.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORThe device reported an error.
EFI_VOLUME_CORRUPTEDThe file system structures are corrupted.
EFI_BUFFER_TO_SMALLBuffer is too small. ReadSize contains required size.

Definition at line 168 of file UefiFileHandleLib.c.

◆ FileHandleReadLine()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleReadLine ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  Handle,
IN OUT CHAR16 *  Buffer,
IN OUT UINTN Size,
IN BOOLEAN  Truncate,
IN OUT BOOLEAN *  Ascii 
)

Function to read a single line (up to but not including the
) from a file.

If the position upon start is 0, then the Ascii Boolean will be set. This should be maintained and not changed for all operations with the same file. The function will not return the \r and
character in buffer. When an empty line is read a CHAR_NULL character will be returned in buffer.

Parameters
[in]HandleFileHandle to read from.
[in,out]BufferThe pointer to buffer to read into.
[in,out]SizeThe pointer to number of bytes in Buffer.
[in]TruncateIf the buffer is large enough, this has no effect. If the buffer is is too small and Truncate is TRUE, the line will be truncated. If the buffer is is too small and Truncate is FALSE, then no read will occur.
[in,out]AsciiBoolean value for indicating whether the file is Ascii (TRUE) or UCS2 (FALSE).
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe operation was successful. The line is stored in Buffer.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERHandle was NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERSize was NULL.
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLSize was not large enough to store the line. Size was updated to the minimum space required.

CHAR16 *EFIAPI FileHandleReturnLine ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  Handle,
IN OUT BOOLEAN *  Ascii 
)

Function to read a single line from a file. The
is not included in the returned buffer. The returned buffer must be callee freed.

If the position upon start is 0, then the Ascii Boolean will be set. This should be maintained and not changed for all operations with the same file.

Parameters
[in]HandleFileHandle to read from.
[in,out]AsciiBoolean value for indicating whether the file is Ascii (TRUE) or UCS2 (FALSE);
Returns
The line of text from the file.

IN CONST EFI_FILE_INFO FileInfo 
)

This function sets the information about the file for the opened handle specified.

Parameters
[in]FileHandleThe file handle of the file for which information is being set.
[in]FileInfoThe information to set.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe information was set.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERA parameter was out of range or invalid.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDThe FileHandle does not support FileInfo.
EFI_NO_MEDIAThe device has no medium.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORThe device reported an error.
EFI_VOLUME_CORRUPTEDThe file system structures are corrupted.

Definition at line 117 of file UefiFileHandleLib.c.

◆ FileHandleSetPosition()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleSetPosition ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  FileHandle,
IN UINT64  Position 
)

Set the current position in a file.

This function sets the current file position for the handle to the position supplied. With the exception of seeking to position 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, only absolute positioning is supported, and seeking past the end of the file is allowed (a subsequent write would grow the file). Seeking to position 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF causes the current position to be set to the end of the file. If FileHandle is a directory, the only position that may be set is zero. This has the effect of starting the read process of the directory entries over.

Parameters
FileHandleThe file handle on which the position is being set
PositionByte position from beginning of file
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSOperation completed successfully.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDthe seek request for non-zero is not valid on directories.
INVALID_PARAMETEROne of the parameters has an invalid value.

Definition at line 310 of file UefiFileHandleLib.c.

◆ FileHandleSetSize()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleSetSize ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  FileHandle,
IN UINT64  Size 
)

Set the size of a file.

This function changes the file size info from the FileHandle's EFI_FILE_INFO data.

Parameters
[in]FileHandleThe file handle whose size is to be changed.
[in]SizeThe new size.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe operation completed successfully.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORCannot access the file.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERFileHandle is NULL.

◆ FileHandleWrite()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleWrite ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  FileHandle,
IN OUT UINTN BufferSize,
IN VOID *  Buffer 
)

Write data to a file.

This function writes the specified number of bytes to the file at the current file position. The current file position is advanced the actual number of bytes written, which is returned in BufferSize. Partial writes only occur when there has been a data error during the write attempt (such as "volume space full"). The file is automatically grown to hold the data if required. Direct writes to opened directories are not supported.

Parameters
FileHandleThe opened file for writing
BufferSizeon input the number of bytes in Buffer. On output the number of bytes written.
Bufferthe buffer containing data to write is stored.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSData was written.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDWrites to an open directory are not supported.

◆ FileHandleWriteLine()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI FileHandleWriteLine ( IN EFI_FILE_HANDLE  Handle,
IN CHAR16 *  Buffer 
)

Function to write a line of text to a file.

If the file is a Unicode file (with UNICODE file tag) then write the unicode text. If the file is an ASCII file then write the ASCII text. If the size of file is zero (without file tag at the beginning) then write ASCII text as default.

Parameters
[in]HandleFileHandle to write to.
[in]BufferBuffer to write, if NULL the function will take no action and return EFI_SUCCESS.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe data was written. Buffer is NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERHandle is NULL.

◆ StrnCatGrowLeft()

CHAR16 *EFIAPI StrnCatGrowLeft ( IN OUT CHAR16 **  Destination,
IN OUT UINTN CurrentSize,
IN CONST CHAR16 *  Source,
IN UINTN  Count 
)

Safely append (on the left) with automatic string resizing given length of Destination and desired length of copy from Source.

append the first D characters of Source to the end of Destination, where D is the lesser of Count and the StrLen() of Source. If appending those D characters will fit within Destination (whose Size is given as CurrentSize) and still leave room for a NULL terminator, then those characters are appended, starting at the original terminating NULL of Destination, and a new terminating NULL is appended.

If appending D characters onto Destination will result in a overflow of the size given in CurrentSize the string will be grown such that the copy can be performed and CurrentSize will be updated to the new size.

If Source is NULL, there is nothing to append, just return the current buffer in Destination.

if Destination is NULL, then return error if Destination's current length (including NULL terminator) is already more then CurrentSize, then ASSERT()

Parameters
[in,out]DestinationThe String to append onto
[in,out]CurrentSizeon call the number of bytes in Destination. On return possibly the new size (still in bytes). if NULL then allocate whatever is needed.
[in]SourceThe String to append from
[in]CountMaximum number of characters to append. if 0 then all are appended.
Returns
Destination return the resultant string.
