7.2 EFI Form Configuration Protocol
Summary
The EFI_FORM_CONFIGURATION_PROTOCOL is the interface to the EFI Configuration Driver.
This will allow the caller to direct the configuration driver to use either the HII database or use the
passed in packet of data. This will also allow the caller to post messages into the configuration drivers
internal mailbox.
GUID
#define EFI_FORM_CONFIGURATION_PROTOCOL_GUID \
{ 0xe5a1333e, 0xe1b4, 0x4d55, 0xce, 0xeb, 0x35, 0xc3, \
0xef, 0x13, 0x34, 0x43 }
Protocol Interface Structure
typedef struct _EFI_FORM_CONFIGURATION_PROTOCOL {
EFI_SEND_FORM
SendForm;
EFI_SEND_MESSAGE
SendMessage;
} EFI_FORM_CONFIGURATION_PROTOCOL;
Parameters
SendForm
SendMessage
This function provides direction to the configuration driver whether
to use the HII database or to use a passed-in set of data. This also
establishes a pointer to the calling driver’s callback interface.
This function allows the caller to put data into the configuration
driver’s internal mailbox. This has the effect of allowing data to be
posted as a key/value pair and have information be updated as an
out-of-band transaction.
Description
This is the interface to call for drivers to leverage the EFI Configuration Driver interface.
