Function Documentation

◆ FullyQualifyPath()

CHAR16 *EFIAPI FullyQualifyPath ( IN CONST CHAR16 *  Path)

Return a clean, fully-qualified version of an input path. If the return value is non-NULL the caller must free the memory when it is no longer needed.

If asserts are disabled, and if the input parameter is NULL, NULL is returned.

If there is not enough memory available to create the fully-qualified path or a copy of the input path, NULL is returned.

If there is no working directory, a clean copy of Path is returned.

Otherwise, the current file system or working directory (as appropriate) is prepended to Path and the resulting path is cleaned and returned.

NOTE: If the input path is an empty string, then the current working directory (if it exists) is returned. In other words, an empty input path is treated exactly the same as ".".

Parameters
[in]PathA pointer to some file or directory path.
Return values
NULLThe input path is NULL or out of memory.
non-NULLA pointer to a clean, fully-qualified version of Path. If there is no working directory, then a pointer to a clean, but not necessarily fully-qualified version of Path. The caller must free this memory when it is no longer needed.

OUT UINT64 *  Value,
IN CONST BOOLEAN  StopAtSpace 
)

Convert a Null-terminated Unicode decimal string to a value of type UINT64.

This function returns a value of type UINT64 by interpreting the contents of the Unicode string specified by String as a decimal number. The format of the input Unicode string String is:

            [spaces] [decimal digits].

The valid decimal digit character is in the range [0-9]. The function will ignore the pad space, which includes spaces or tab characters, before [decimal digits]. The running zero in the beginning of [decimal digits] will be ignored. Then, the function stops at the first character that is a not a valid decimal character or a Null-terminator, whichever one comes first.

If String has only pad spaces, then 0 is returned. If String has no pad spaces or valid decimal digits, then 0 is returned.

Parameters
[in]StringA pointer to a Null-terminated Unicode string.
[out]ValueUpon a successful return the value of the conversion.

OUT UINT64 *  Value,
IN CONST BOOLEAN  StopAtSpace 
)

Convert a Null-terminated Unicode hexadecimal string to a value of type UINT64.

This function returns a value of type UINT64 by interpreting the contents of the Unicode string specified by String as a hexadecimal number. The format of the input Unicode string String is:

            [spaces][zeros][x][hexadecimal digits].

The valid hexadecimal digit character is in the range [0-9], [a-f] and [A-F]. The prefix "0x" is optional. Both "x" and "X" is allowed in "0x" prefix. If "x" appears in the input string, it must be prefixed with at least one 0. The function will ignore the pad space, which includes spaces or tab characters, before [zeros], [x] or [hexadecimal digit]. The running zero before [x] or [hexadecimal digit] will be ignored. Then, the decoding starts after [x] or the first valid hexadecimal digit. Then, the function stops at the first character that is a not a valid hexadecimal character or NULL, whichever one comes first.

If String has only pad spaces, then zero is returned. If String has no leading pad spaces, leading zeros or valid hexadecimal digits, then zero is returned.

Parameters
[in]StringA pointer to a Null-terminated Unicode string.
[out]ValueUpon a successful return the value of the conversion.
[in]StopAtSpaceFALSE to skip spaces.

This function changes the current value of the specified environment variable. If the environment variable exists and the Value is an empty string, then the environment variable is deleted. If the environment variable exists and the Value is not an empty string, then the value of the environment variable is changed. If the environment variable does not exist and the Value is an empty string, there is no action. If the environment variable does not exist and the Value is a non-empty string, then the environment variable is created and assigned the specified value.

This is not supported pre-UEFI Shell 2.0.

Parameters
EnvKeyThe key name of the environment variable.
EnvValThe Value of the environment variable
VolatileIndicates whether the variable is non-volatile (FALSE) or volatile (TRUE).
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSthe operation was completed successfully
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDThis operation is not allowed in pre UEFI 2.0 Shell environments

◆ ShellSetFileInfo()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI ShellSetFileInfo ( IN SHELL_FILE_HANDLE  FileHandle,
IN 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.
EFI_WRITE_PROTECTEDThe file or medium is write protected.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIEDThe file was opened read only.
EFI_VOLUME_FULLThe volume is full.

◆ ShellSetFilePosition()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI ShellSetFilePosition ( IN SHELL_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.

◆ ShellStrToUintn()

UINTN EFIAPI ShellStrToUintn ( IN CONST CHAR16 *  String)

Function to determine whether a string is decimal or hex representation of a number and return the number converted from the string. Spaces are always skipped.

Parameters
[in]StringString representation of a number
Returns
the number
Return values
(UINTN)(-1)An error ocurred.

◆ ShellWriteFile()

EFI_STATUS EFIAPI ShellWriteFile ( IN SHELL_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.
EFI_NO_MEDIAThe device has no media.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORThe device reported an error.
EFI_VOLUME_CORRUPTEDThe file system structures are corrupted.
EFI_WRITE_PROTECTEDThe device is write-protected.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIEDThe file was open for read only.
EFI_VOLUME_FULLThe volume is full.

◆ StrnCatGrow()

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

Safely append 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 ASSERT() 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.
