Detailed Description

Provides library functions for common UEFI operations. Only available to DXE and UEFI module types.

The UEFI Library provides functions and macros that simplify the development of UEFI Drivers and UEFI Applications. These functions and macros help manage EFI events, build simple locks utilizing EFI Task Priority Levels (TPLs), install EFI Driver Model related protocols, manage Unicode string tables for UEFI Drivers, and print messages on the console output and standard error devices.

Note that a reserved macro named MDEPKG_NDEBUG is introduced for the intention of size reduction when compiler optimization is disabled. If MDEPKG_NDEBUG is defined, then debug and assert related macros wrapped by it are the NULL implementations.

Define Documentation

#define ASSERT_LOCKED ( LockParameter   ) 

Value:

do {                                                \
      if (DebugAssertEnabled ()) {                      \
        ASSERT (LockParameter != NULL);                 \
        if ((LockParameter)->Lock != EfiLockAcquired) { \
          _ASSERT (LockParameter not locked);           \
        }                                               \
      }                                                 \
    } while (FALSE)
Macro that calls DebugAssert() if an EFI_LOCK structure is not in the locked state.

If MDEPKG_NDEBUG is not defined and the DEBUG_PROPERTY_DEBUG_ASSERT_ENABLED bit of PcdDebugProperyMask is set, then this macro evaluates the EFI_LOCK structure specified by Lock. If Lock is not in the locked state, then DebugAssert() is called passing in the source filename, source line number, and Lock.

If Lock is NULL, then ASSERT().

Parameters:
LockParameter A pointer to the lock to acquire.

#define EFI_INITIALIZE_LOCK_VARIABLE ( Priority   )     {Priority, TPL_APPLICATION, EfiLockReleased }

Initializes a basic mutual exclusion lock.

This macro initializes the contents of a basic mutual exclusion lock to the released state. Each lock provides mutual exclusion access at its task priority level. Since there is no preemption or multiprocessor support in EFI, acquiring the lock only consists of raising to the locks TPL.

Parameters:
Priority The task priority level of the lock.
Returns:
The lock.

#define EFI_TIMER_PERIOD_MICROSECONDS ( Microseconds   )     MultU64x32((UINT64)(Microseconds), 10)

Macro that returns the number of 100 ns units for a specified number of microseconds. This is useful for managing EFI timer events.

Parameters:
Microseconds The number of microseconds.
Returns:
The number of 100 ns units equivalent to the number of microseconds specified by Microseconds.

#define EFI_TIMER_PERIOD_MILLISECONDS ( Milliseconds   )     MultU64x32((UINT64)(Milliseconds), 10000)

Macro that returns the number of 100 ns units for a specified number of milliseconds. This is useful for managing EFI timer events.

Parameters:
Milliseconds The number of milliseconds.
Returns:
The number of 100 ns units equivalent to the number of milliseconds specified by Milliseconds.

#define EFI_TIMER_PERIOD_SECONDS ( Seconds   )     MultU64x32((UINT64)(Seconds), 10000000)

Macro that returns the number of 100 ns units for a specified number of seconds. This is useful for managing EFI timer events.

Parameters:
Seconds The number of seconds.
Returns:
The number of 100 ns units equivalent to the number of seconds specified by Seconds.

#define NEXT_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR ( MemoryDescriptor,
Size   )     ((EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR *)((UINT8 *)(MemoryDescriptor) + (Size)))

Macro that returns the a pointer to the next EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR in an array returned from GetMemoryMap().

Parameters:
MemoryDescriptor A pointer to an EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR.
