27.2 Load File Protocol Implementation
The implementation of the Load File Protocol is typically found in the file
LoadFile.c. Appendix A contains a template for a LoadFile.c file for a UEFI Driver. The list of tasks to implement the Load File Protocol is as follows:- Add global variable for the
EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOLinstance toLoadFile.c. - Implement the
LoadFile()service inLoadFile.c.
The example below shows the protocol interface structure for the Load File Protocol for reference. This protocol is composed of a single service called
LoadFile(). This service is typically used by a UEFI Boot Manager to boot a UEFI OS Loader or other UEFI Application from a device that does not directly or indirectly support the Simple File System Protocol.typedef struct _EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL;
struct _EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL {
EFI_LOAD_FILE LoadFile;
};
extern EFI_GUID gEfiLoadFileProtocolGuid;
