Typedef Documentation

◆ EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL

Definition at line 24 of file Rng.h.

◆ EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM

A selection of EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL algorithms.

The algorithms listed are optional, not meant to be exhaustive and be argmented by vendors or other industry standards.

Definition at line 32 of file Rng.h.

◆ EFI_RNG_GET_INFO

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_RNG_GET_INFO) (IN EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL *This, IN OUT UINTN *RNGAlgorithmListSize, OUT EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM *RNGAlgorithmList)

Returns information about the random number generation implementation.

Parameters
[in]ThisA pointer to the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL instance.
[in,out]RNGAlgorithmListSizeOn input, the size in bytes of RNGAlgorithmList. On output with a return code of EFI_SUCCESS, the size in bytes of the data returned in RNGAlgorithmList. On output with a return code of EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, the size of RNGAlgorithmList required to obtain the list.
[out]RNGAlgorithmListA caller-allocated memory buffer filled by the driver with one EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM element for each supported RNG algorithm. The list must not change across multiple calls to the same driver. The first algorithm in the list is the default algorithm for the driver.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe RNG algorithm list was returned successfully.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDThe services is not supported by this driver.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORThe list of algorithms could not be retrieved due to a hardware or firmware error.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETEROne or more of the parameters are incorrect.
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe buffer RNGAlgorithmList is too small to hold the result.

Definition at line 107 of file Rng.h.

◆ EFI_RNG_GET_RNG

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_RNG_GET_RNG) (IN EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM *RNGAlgorithm OPTIONAL, IN UINTN RNGValueLength, OUT UINT8 *RNGValue)

Produces and returns an RNG value using either the default or specified RNG algorithm.

Parameters
[in]ThisA pointer to the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL instance.
[in]RNGAlgorithmA pointer to the EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM that identifies the RNG algorithm to use. May be NULL in which case the function will use its default RNG algorithm.
[in]RNGValueLengthThe length in bytes of the memory buffer pointed to by RNGValue. The driver shall return exactly this numbers of bytes.
[out]RNGValueA caller-allocated memory buffer filled by the driver with the resulting RNG value.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe RNG value was returned successfully.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDThe algorithm specified by RNGAlgorithm is not supported by this driver.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORAn RNG value could not be retrieved due to a hardware or firmware error.
EFI_NOT_READYThere is not enough random data available to satisfy the length requested by RNGValueLength.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERRNGValue is NULL or RNGValueLength is zero.
