2 Load File protocol as defined in the UEFI 2.0 specification.
3
4 The load file protocol exists to supports the addition of new boot devices,
5 and to support booting from devices that do not map well to file system.
6 Network boot is done via a LoadFile protocol.
7
8 UEFI 2.0 can boot from any device that produces a LoadFile protocol.

38 @param This Protocol instance pointer.
39 @param FilePath The device specific path of the file to load.
40 @param BootPolicy If TRUE, indicates that the request originates from the
41 boot manager is attempting to load FilePath as a boot
42 selection. If FALSE, then FilePath must match as exact file
43 to be loaded.
44 @param BufferSize On input the size of Buffer in bytes. On output with a return
45 code of EFI_SUCCESS, the amount of data transferred to
46 Buffer. On output with a return code of EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL,
47 the size of Buffer required to retrieve the requested file.
48 @param Buffer The memory buffer to transfer the file to. IF Buffer is NULL,
49 then the size of the requested file is returned in
50 BufferSize.
51
52 @retval EFI_SUCCESS The file was loaded.
53 @retval EFI_UNSUPPORTED The device does not support the provided BootPolicy
54 @retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER FilePath is not a valid device path, or
55 BufferSize is NULL.
56 @retval EFI_NO_MEDIA No medium was present to load the file.
57 @retval EFI_DEVICE_ERROR The file was not loaded due to a device error.
58 @retval EFI_NO_RESPONSE The remote system did not respond.
59 @retval EFI_NOT_FOUND The file was not found.
60 @retval EFI_ABORTED The file load process was manually cancelled.
61 @retval EFI_WARN_FILE_SYSTEM The resulting Buffer contains UEFI-compliant file system.
