Detailed Description

Load File protocol as defined in the UEFI 2.0 specification.

The load file protocol exists to supports the addition of new boot devices, and to support booting from devices that do not map well to file system. Network boot is done via a LoadFile protocol.

UEFI 2.0 can boot from any device that produces a LoadFile protocol.

Typedef Documentation

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_LOAD_FILE)(IN EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL *FilePath, IN BOOLEAN BootPolicy, IN OUT UINTN *BufferSize, IN VOID *Buffer)

Causes the driver to load a specified file.

Parameters:
This Protocol instance pointer.
FilePath The device specific path of the file to load.
BootPolicy If TRUE, indicates that the request originates from the boot manager is attempting to load FilePath as a boot selection. If FALSE, then FilePath must match as exact file to be loaded.
BufferSize On input the size of Buffer in bytes. On output with a return code of EFI_SUCCESS, the amount of data transferred to Buffer. On output with a return code of EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, the size of Buffer required to retrieve the requested file.
Buffer The memory buffer to transfer the file to. IF Buffer is NULL, then the size of the requested file is returned in BufferSize.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The file was loaded.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED The device does not support the provided BootPolicy
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER FilePath is not a valid device path, or BufferSize is NULL.
EFI_NO_MEDIA No medium was present to load the file.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR The file was not loaded due to a device error.
EFI_NO_RESPONSE The remote system did not respond.
EFI_NOT_FOUND The file was not found.
EFI_ABORTED The file load process was manually cancelled.

Backward-compatible with EFI1.1
