The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Shell
The EFI Shell is an EFI application that enables other EFI applications to start, EFI device drivers to load, and operating systems to boot. The combination of the EFI firmware and the EFI shell provides the system environment that can be changed easily to adapt to various hardware configurations.
The EFI shell also provides a series of basic commands to manage files, EFI NVRAM shell, and boot variables. The details of EFI shell utility is provided by typing “help” and press the <Enter> key during EFI shell operation.
In addition to basic shell commands in EFI shell, the user can create original commands and EFI applications in EFI environment.
