NAME
efi_rmdir - remove an EFI directory
SYNOPSIS
efi_rmdir [-d devicefile] directory
DESCRIPTION
efi_rmdir removes an EFI directory
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).
devicefile should be the device file for the EFI volume.
If directory is not a directory or the directory is not empty,
efi_rmdir prints a diagnostic message and
returns without removing the file; use efi_rm(1M) to remove EFI files. directory should be relative to root
of the EFI volume specified by devicefile, not to an HP-UX file system.
Options
efi_rmdir recognizes the following option:
-d devicefile devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system from which the directory is to be
removed. Without the
-d option, efi_rmdir 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_rmdir returns exit code 0 if the directory is removed successfully. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic
message and returns nonzero.
0 Successful completion.
>0 Error condition occurred.
EXAMPLES
Remove efi from /hp-ux/ of device file /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s1
with EFI file system:
efi_rmdir -d /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s1 /hp-ux/efi
Remove efi from /hp-ux/ of persistent device file /dev/rdisk/disk7_p1
(see intro (7)) with EFI
file system:
efi_rmdir -d /dev/rdisk/disk7_p1 /hp-ux/efi
