66.Sh DESCRIPTION
67All of the following calls will return
68.Dv ENXIO
69if UEFI runtime services are not available.
70.Nm
71is currently only available on amd64 and arm64.
72.Pp
73The
74.Fn efi_rt_ok
75Returns 0 if UEFI runtime services are present and functional, or
76.Dv ENXIO
77if not.
78.Pp
79The
80.Fn efi_get_table
81function gets a table by uuid from the UEFI system table.
82Returns 0 if the table was found and populates *ptr with the address.
83Returns
84.Dv ENXIO
85if the configuration table or system table are unset.
86Returns
87.Dv ENOENT
88if the requested table cannot be found.
89.Pp
90The
91.Fn efi_get_time
92function gets the current time from the RTC, if available.
93Returns 0 and populates the
94.Vt struct efi_tm
95on success.
96Returns
97.Dv EINVAL
98if the
99.Vt struct efi_tm
100is
101.Dv NULL ,
102or
103.Dv EIO
104if the time could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
105.Pp
106The
107.Fn efi_get_time_capabilities
108function gets the capabilities from the RTC.
109Returns 0 and populates the
110.Vt struct efi_tmcap
111on success.
112Returns
113.Dv EINVAL
114if the
115.Vt struct efi_tm
116is
117.Dv NULL ,
118or
119.Dv EIO
120if the time could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
121.Pp
122The
123.Fn efi_reset_system
124function requests a reset of the system.
125The
126.Fa type
127argument may be one of the
128.Vt enum efi_reset
129values:
130.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EFI_RESET_SHUTDOWN"
131.It Dv EFI_RESET_COLD
132Perform a cold reset of the system, and reboot.
133.It Dv EFI_RESET_WARM
134Perform a warm reset of the system, and reboot.
135.It Dv EFI_RESET_SHUTDOWN
136Power off the system.
137.El
138.Pp
139The
140.Fn efi_set_time
141function sets the time on the RTC to the time described by the
142.Vt struct efi_tm
143passed in.
144Returns 0 on success,
145.Dv EINVAL
146if a time field is out of range, or
147.Dv EIO
148if the time could not be set due to a hardware error.
149.Pp
150The
151.Fn efi_var_get
152function fetches the variable identified by
153.Fa vendor
154and
155.Fa name .
156Returns 0 and populates
157.Fa attrib ,
158.Fa datasize ,
159and
160.Fa data
161on success.
162Otherwise, one of the following errors are returned:
163.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EOVERFLOW"
164.It Dv ENOENT
165The variable was not found.
166.It Dv EOVERFLOW
167.Fa datasize
168is not sufficient to hold the variable data.
169.Fa namesize
170is updated to reflect the size needed to complete the request.
171.It Dv EINVAL
172One of
173.Fa name ,
174.Fa vendor ,
175or
176.Fa datasize
177are NULL.
178Alternatively,
179.Fa datasize
180is large enough to hold the response but
181.Fa data
182is NULL.
183.It Dv EIO
184The variable could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
185.It Dv EDOOFUS
186The variable could not be retireved due to an authentication failure.
187.El
188.Pp
189The
190.Fn efi_var_nextname
191function is used for enumeration of variables.
192On the initial call to
193.Fn efi_var_nextname ,
194.Fa name
195should be an empty string.
196Subsequent calls should pass in the last
197.Fa name
198and
199.Fa vendor
200returned until
201.Dv ENOENT
202is returned.
203Returns 0 and populates
204.Fa namesize ,
205.Fa name ,
206and
207.Fa vendor
208with the next variable's data.
209Otherwise, returns one of the following errors:
210.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EOVERFLOW"
211.It Dv ENOENT
212The next variable was not found.
213.It Dv EOVERFLOW
214.Fa datasize
215is not sufficient to hold the variable data.
216.Fa namesize
217is updated to reflect the size needed to complete the request.
218.It Dv EINVAL
219One of
220.Fa name ,
221.Fa vendor ,
222or
223.Fa datasize
224are NULL.
225.It Dv EIO
226The variable could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
227.El
228.Pp
229The
230.Fn efi_var_set
231function sets the variable described by
232.Fa name
233and
234.Fa vendor .
235Returns 0 if the variable has been successfully.
236Otherwise, returns one of the following errors:
237.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EOVERFLOW"
238.It Dv EINVAL
239Either
240.Fa attrib
241was an invalid combination of attributes,
242.Fa datasize
243exceeds the maximum allowed size, or
244.Fa name
245is an empty Unicode stirng.
246.It Dv EAGAIN
247Not enough storage is available to hold the variable and its data.
248.It Dv EIO
249The variable could not be saved due to a hardware error.
250.It Dv EROFS
251The variable in question is read-only or may not be deleted.
252.It Dv EDOOFUS
253The variable could not be set due to an authentication failure.
254.It Dv ENOENT
255The variable trying to be updated or deleted was not found.
