68.Sh DESCRIPTION
69All of the following calls will return
70.Dv ENXIO
71if UEFI runtime services are not available.
72.Nm
73is currently only available on amd64 and arm64.
74.Pp
75The
76.Fn efi_rt_ok
77Returns 0 if UEFI runtime services are present and functional, or
78.Dv ENXIO
79if not.
80.Pp
81The
82.Fn efi_get_table
83function gets a table by uuid from the UEFI system table.
84Returns 0 if the table was found and populates *ptr with the address.
85Returns
86.Dv ENXIO
87if the configuration table or system table are unset.
88Returns
89.Dv ENOENT
90if the requested table cannot be found.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn efi_get_time
94function gets the current time from the RTC, if available.
95Returns 0 and populates the
96.Vt struct efi_tm
97on success.
98Returns
99.Dv EINVAL
100if the
101.Vt struct efi_tm
102is
103.Dv NULL ,
104or
105.Dv EIO
106if the time could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
107.Pp
108The
109.Fn efi_get_time_capabilities
110function gets the capabilities from the RTC.
111Returns 0 and populates the
112.Vt struct efi_tmcap
113on success.
114Returns
115.Dv EINVAL
116if the
117.Vt struct efi_tm
118is
119.Dv NULL ,
120or
121.Dv EIO
122if the time could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
123.Pp
124The
125.Fn efi_reset_system
126function requests a reset of the system.
127The
128.Fa type
129argument may be one of the
130.Vt enum efi_reset
131values:
132.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EFI_RESET_SHUTDOWN"
133.It Dv EFI_RESET_COLD
134Perform a cold reset of the system, and reboot.
135.It Dv EFI_RESET_WARM
136Perform a warm reset of the system, and reboot.
137.It Dv EFI_RESET_SHUTDOWN
138Power off the system.
139.El
140.Pp
141The
142.Fn efi_set_time
143function sets the time on the RTC to the time described by the
144.Vt struct efi_tm
145passed in.
146Returns 0 on success,
147.Dv EINVAL
148if a time field is out of range, or
149.Dv EIO
150if the time could not be set due to a hardware error.
151.Pp
152The
153.Fn efi_var_get
154function fetches the variable identified by
155.Fa vendor
156and
157.Fa name .
158Returns 0 and populates
159.Fa attrib ,
160.Fa datasize ,
161and
162.Fa data
163on success.
164Otherwise, one of the following errors are returned:
165.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EOVERFLOW"
166.It Dv ENOENT
167The variable was not found.
168.It Dv EOVERFLOW
169.Fa datasize
170is not sufficient to hold the variable data.
171.Fa namesize
172is updated to reflect the size needed to complete the request.
173.It Dv EINVAL
174One of
175.Fa name ,
176.Fa vendor ,
177or
178.Fa datasize
179are NULL.
180Alternatively,
181.Fa datasize
182is large enough to hold the response but
183.Fa data
184is NULL.
185.It Dv EIO
186The variable could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
187.It Dv EDOOFUS
188The variable could not be retireved due to an authentication failure.
189.El
190.Pp
191The
192.Fn efi_var_nextname
193function is used for enumeration of variables.
194On the initial call to
195.Fn efi_var_nextname ,
196.Fa name
197should be an empty string.
198Subsequent calls should pass in the last
199.Fa name
200and
201.Fa vendor
202returned until
203.Dv ENOENT
204is returned.
205Returns 0 and populates
206.Fa namesize ,
207.Fa name ,
208and
209.Fa vendor
210with the next variable's data.
211Otherwise, returns one of the following errors:
212.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EOVERFLOW"
213.It Dv ENOENT
214The next variable was not found.
215.It Dv EOVERFLOW
216.Fa datasize
217is not sufficient to hold the variable data.
218.Fa namesize
219is updated to reflect the size needed to complete the request.
220.It Dv EINVAL
221One of
222.Fa name ,
223.Fa vendor ,
224or
225.Fa datasize
226are NULL.
227.It Dv EIO
228The variable could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.
229.El
230.Pp
231The
232.Fn efi_var_set
233function sets the variable described by
234.Fa name
235and
236.Fa vendor .
237Returns 0 if the variable has been successfully.
238Otherwise, returns one of the following errors:
239.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EOVERFLOW"
240.It Dv EINVAL
241Either
242.Fa attrib
243was an invalid combination of attributes,
244.Fa datasize
245exceeds the maximum allowed size, or
246.Fa name
247is an empty Unicode stirng.
248.It Dv EAGAIN
249Not enough storage is available to hold the variable and its data.
250.It Dv EIO
251The variable could not be saved due to a hardware error.
252.It Dv EROFS
253The variable in question is read-only or may not be deleted.
254.It Dv EDOOFUS
255The variable could not be set due to an authentication failure.
256.It Dv ENOENT
257The variable trying to be updated or deleted was not found.
