EFI_WATCHDOG_TIMER_SET_TIMER_PERIOD	SetTimerPeriod
EFI_WATCHDOG_TIMER_GET_TIMER_PERIOD	GetTimerPeriod

Detailed Description

This protocol provides the services required to implement the Boot Service SetWatchdogTimer(). It provides a service to set the amount of time to wait before firing the watchdog timer, and it also provides a service to register a handler that is invoked when the watchdog timer fires. This protocol can implement the watchdog timer by using the event and timer Boot Services, or it can make use of custom hardware. When the watchdog timer fires, control will be passed to a handler if one has been registered. If no handler has been registered, or the registered handler returns, then the system will be reset by calling the Runtime Service ResetSystem().
