NAME
efi_fsinit — write an EFI file system header on a device file
SYNOPSIS
efi_fsinit
[-d
devicefile]
DESCRIPTION
efi_fsinit
writes an EFI file system header on a device file.
The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the Itanium-based system BIOS to
locate an HP-UX bootloader.
See
efi(4).
Before any other EFI
commands can be run,
efi_fsinit
must be run to initialize the file system on a device file.
Options
efi_fsinit
recognizes the following option:
- -d devicefile
Write the file system header on device
devicefile.
Without the
-d
option,
efi_fsinit
uses the device file specified in the environment variable
EFI_PARTITION
if it is defined.
The
-d
option overrides the
EFI_PARTITION
environment variable.
RETURN VALUE
efi_fsinit
returns exit code 0 if the EFI file system is initialized successfully.
Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero.
- 0
Successful completion.
- >0
Error condition occurred.
