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(R)-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.
EXAMPLES
