It calculates and initializes the \fBefi_version\fR, 49 \fBefi_lbasize\fR, \fBefi_nparts\fR, \fBefi_first_u_lba\fR, \fBefi_last_lba\fR, 50 and \fBefi_last_u_lba\fR members of this structure. The caller can then set the 51 \fBefi_nparts\fR member. 52 .sp 53 .LP 54 The \fBefi_alloc_and_read()\fR function allocates memory and returns the 55 partition table. 56 .sp 57 .LP 58 The \fBefi_free()\fR function frees the memory allocated by 59 \fBefi_alloc_and_init()\fR and \fBefi_alloc_and_read()\fR. 60 .sp 61 .LP 62 The \fBefi_write()\fR function writes the EFI partition table and creates a 63 Protective Master Boot Record (PMBR); see below. 64 .sp 65 .LP 66 The \fBefi_use_whole_disk()\fR function takes any space that is not contained 67 in the disk label and adds it to the last physically non-zero area before the 68 reserved slice (from slice 0 to slice 6 or unallocated space). 69 .sp 70 .LP 71 The \fBefi_reserved_sectors()\fR function calculates number of sectors 72 needed to create the reserved partition. The reserved partition is used 73 by the operating system for internal purposes. The sector size used is 74 based on the device and is recorded in the \fBefi_lbasize\fR member of 75 the \fBdkgpt_t\fR structure indicated by the \fIvtoc\fR argument. 76 A full description of the \fBdk_gpt_t\fR structure appears later in the manual. 77 .sp 78 .LP 79 The \fIfd\fR argument refers to any slice on a raw disk, opened with 80 \fBO_NDELAY\fR. See \fBopen\fR(2). 81 .sp 82 .LP 83 The \fInparts\fR argument specifies the number of desired partitions. 84 .sp 85 .LP 86 The \fIvtoc\fR argument is a \fBdk_gpt_t\fR structure that describes an EFI 87 partition table and contains at least the following members: 88 .sp 89 .in +2 90 .nf 91 uint_t efi_version; /* set to EFI_VERSION_CURRENT */ 92 uint_t efi_nparts; /* no. of partitions in efi_parts */ 93 uint_t efi_lbasize; /* size of block in bytes */ 94 diskaddr_t efi_last_lba; /* last block on the disk */ 95 diskaddr_t efi_first_u_lba; /* first block after labels */ 96 diskaddr_t efi_last_u_lba; /* last block before backup labels */ 97 struct dk_part efi_parts[]; /* array of partitions */ 98 .fi 99 .in -2 100 101 .SS "Protective Master Boot Record" 102 When a disk receives an EFI label, a protective MBR (\fBPMBR\fR) is also 103 written containing a single partiton of type \fBEEh\fR and spanning the 104 entire disk (up to the limit of what can be represented in an MBR). By 105 default that partition is placed in slot 0 of the PMBR and not marked as 106 active. Some BIOS implementations contain bugs that require the entry to be 107 placed into a different slot or to be made active in order for the system 108 to boot successfully. The default behaviour is modified for systems with known 109 firmware bugs, refer to \fB/usr/share/hwdata/efi.fixes\fR for more 110 information. 111 112 .SH RETURN VALUES 113 Upon successful completion, \fBefi_alloc_and_init()\fR returns 0. Otherwise it 114 returns \fBVT_EIO\fR if an I/O operation to the disk fails. 115 .sp 116 .LP 117 Upon successful completion, \fBefi_alloc_and_read()\fR returns a positive 118 integer indicating the slice index associated with the open file descriptor. 119 Otherwise, it returns a negative integer to indicate one of the following: 120 .sp 121 .ne 2 122 .na 123 \fB\fBVT_EIO\fR\fR 124 .ad 125 .RS 13n 126 An I/O error occurred. 127 .RE 128 129 .sp 130 .ne 2 131 .na 132 \fB\fBVT_ERROR\fR\fR 133 .ad 134 .RS 13n 135 An unknown error occurred. 136 .RE 137 138 .sp 139 .ne 2 140 .na 141 \fB\fBVT_EINVAL\fR\fR 142 .ad 143 .RS 13n 144 An EFI label was not found. 145 .RE 146 147 .sp 148 .LP 149 The \fBefi_reserved_sectors()\fR function always returns the number of 150 reserved sectors required. It will always succeed. 151 152 .sp 153 .LP 154 Upon successful completion, \fBefi_write()\fR returns 0.

For compatibility 225 reasons, the \fBread_vtoc\fR(3EXT) and \fBwrite_vtoc()\fR functions should be 226 used on smaller disks. The application should attempt the \fBread_vtoc()\fR or 227 \fBwrite_vtoc()\fR call, check for an error of \fBVT_ENOTSUP\fR, then call the 228 analogous EFI function. 229 .SH ATTRIBUTES 230 See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: 231 .sp 232 233 .sp 234 .TS 235 box; 236 c | c 237 l | l . 238 ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE 239 _ 240 Interface Stability Committed 241 _ 242 MT-Level Unsafe 243 .TE 244 245 .SH SEE ALSO 246 \fBfmthard\fR(1M), \fBformat\fR(1M), \fBprtvtoc\fR(1M), \fBioctl\fR(2), 247 \fBopen\fR(2), \fBlibefi\fR(3LIB), \fBread_vtoc\fR(3EXT), \fBattributes\fR(5), 248 \fBdkio\fR(7I)
