◆ EFI_HII_DATABASE_NOTIFY

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_HII_DATABASE_NOTIFY) (IN UINT8 PackageType, IN CONST EFI_GUID *PackageGuid, IN CONST EFI_HII_PACKAGE_HEADER *Package, IN EFI_HII_HANDLE Handle, IN EFI_HII_DATABASE_NOTIFY_TYPE NotifyType)

Functions which are registered to receive notification of database events have this prototype.

The actual event is encoded in NotifyType. The following table describes how PackageType, PackageGuid, Handle, and Package are used for each of the notification types.

Parameters
PackageTypePackage type of the notification.
PackageGuidIf PackageType is EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_GUID, then this is the pointer to the GUID from the Guid field of EFI_HII_PACKAGE_GUID_HEADER. Otherwise, it must be NULL.
PackagePoints to the package referred to by the notification.
HandleThe handle of the package list which contains the specified package.
NotifyTypeThe type of change concerning the database. See EFI_HII_DATABASE_NOTIFY_TYPE.

◆ EFI_HII_DATABASE_NEW_PACK

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_HII_DATABASE_NEW_PACK) (IN CONST EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL *This, IN CONST EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER *PackageList, IN EFI_HANDLE DriverHandle OPTIONAL, OUT EFI_HII_HANDLE *Handle)

This function adds the packages in the package list to the database and returns a handle.

If there is a EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL associated with the DriverHandle, then this function will create a package of type EFI_PACKAGE_TYPE_DEVICE_PATH and add it to the package list. For each package in the package list, registered functions with the notification type NEW_PACK and having the same package type will be called. For each call to NewPackageList(), there should be a corresponding call to EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL.RemovePackageList().

Parameters
ThisA pointer to the EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL instance.
PackageListA pointer to an EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER structure.
DriverHandleAssociate the package list with this EFI handle. If a NULL is specified, this data will not be associate with any drivers and cannot have a callback induced.
HandleA pointer to the EFI_HII_HANDLE instance.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe package list associated with the Handle was added to the HII database.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCESUnable to allocate necessary resources for the new database contents.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERPackageList is NULL, or Handle is NULL.

◆ EFI_HII_DATABASE_REMOVE_PACK

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_HII_DATABASE_REMOVE_PACK) (IN CONST EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_HII_HANDLE Handle)

This function removes the package list that is associated with a handle Handle from the HII database.

Before removing the package, any registered functions with the notification type REMOVE_PACK and the same package type will be called. For each call to EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL.NewPackageList(), there should be a corresponding call to RemovePackageList.

Parameters
ThisA pointer to the EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL instance.
HandleThe handle that was registered to the data that is requested for removal.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe data associated with the Handle was removed from the HII database.
EFI_NOT_FOUNDThe specified Handle is not in database.

Definition at line 132 of file HiiDatabase.h.

◆ EFI_HII_DATABASE_UPDATE_PACK

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_HII_DATABASE_UPDATE_PACK) (IN CONST EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_HII_HANDLE Handle, IN CONST EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER *PackageList)

This function updates the existing package list (which has the specified Handle) in the HII databases, using the new package list specified by PackageList.

The update process has the following steps: Collect all the package types in the package list specified by PackageList. A package type consists of the Type field of EFI_HII_PACKAGE_HEADER and, if the Type is EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_GUID, the Guid field, as defined in EFI_HII_PACKAGE_GUID_HEADER. Iterate through the packages within the existing package list in the HII database specified by Handle. If a package's type matches one of the collected types collected in step 1, then perform the following steps:

  • Call any functions registered with the notification type REMOVE_PACK.
  • Remove the package from the package list and the HII database. Add all of the packages within the new package list specified by PackageList, using the following steps:
  • Add the package to the package list and the HII database.
  • Call any functions registered with the notification type ADD_PACK.
Parameters
ThisA pointer to the EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL instance.
HandleThe handle that was registered to the data that is requested for removal.
PackageListA pointer to an EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST package.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe HII database was successfully updated.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCESUnable to allocate enough memory for the updated database.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERPackageList was NULL.
EFI_NOT_FOUNDThe specified Handle is not in database.

Definition at line 179 of file HiiDatabase.h.

◆ EFI_HII_DATABASE_LIST_PACKS

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_HII_DATABASE_LIST_PACKS) (IN CONST EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL *This, IN UINT8 PackageType, IN CONST EFI_GUID *PackageGuid, IN OUT UINTN *HandleBufferLength, OUT EFI_HII_HANDLE *Handle)

This function returns a list of the package handles of the specified type that are currently active in the database.

The pseudo-type EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_ALL will cause all package handles to be listed.

Parameters
ThisA pointer to the EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL instance.
PackageTypeSpecifies the package type of the packages to list or EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_ALL for all packages to be listed.
PackageGuidIf PackageType is EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_GUID, then this is the pointer to the GUID which must match the Guid field of EFI_HII_PACKAGE_GUID_HEADER. Otherwise, it must be NULL.
HandleBufferLengthOn input, a pointer to the length of the handle buffer. On output, the length of the handle buffer that is required for the handles found.
HandleAn array of EFI_HII_HANDLE instances returned.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe matching handles are outputted successfully. HandleBufferLength is updated with the actual length.
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe HandleBufferLength parameter indicates that Handle is too small to support the number of handles. HandleBufferLength is updated with a value that will enable the data to fit.
EFI_NOT_FOUNDNo matching handle could be found in database.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERHandleBufferLength was NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERThe value referenced by HandleBufferLength was not zero and Handle was NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERPackageType is not a EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_GUID but PackageGuid is not NULL, PackageType is a EFI_HII_ PACKAGE_TYPE_GUID but PackageGuid is NULL.

Definition at line 230 of file HiiDatabase.h.

◆ EFI_HII_DATABASE_EXPORT_PACKS

This function will export one or all package lists in the database to a buffer.

For each package list exported, this function will call functions registered with EXPORT_PACK and then copy the package list to the buffer. The registered functions may call EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL.UpdatePackageList() to modify the package list before it is copied to the buffer. If the specified BufferSize is too small, then the status EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES will be returned and the actual package size will be returned in BufferSize.

Parameters
ThisA pointer to the EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL instance.
HandleAn EFI_HII_HANDLE that corresponds to the desired package list in the HII database to export or NULL to indicate all package lists should be exported.
BufferSizeOn input, a pointer to the length of the buffer. On output, the length of the buffer that is required for the exported data.
BufferA pointer to a buffer that will contain the results of the export function.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSPackage exported.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCESBufferSize is too small to hold the package.
EFI_NOT_FOUNDThe specified Handle could not be found in the current database.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERBufferSize was NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERThe value referenced by BufferSize was not zero and Buffer was NULL.

PackageNotifyFnPoints to the function to be called when the event specified by NotificationType occurs. See EFI_HII_DATABASE_NOTIFY.
NotifyTypeDescribes the types of notification which this function will be receiving. See EFI_HII_DATABASE_NOTIFY_TYPE for a list of types.
NotifyHandlePoints to the unique handle assigned to the registered notification. Can be used in EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL.UnregisterPack to stop notifications.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSNotification registered successfully.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCESUnable to allocate necessary data structures.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERPackageGuid is not NULL when PackageType is not EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_GUID.
