NAME

eﬁ_rm - remove an EFI ﬁle

SYNOPSIS

efi_rm [-d deviceﬁle] ﬁle

DESCRIPTION

efi_rm removes an EFI 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).

deviceﬁle should be the device ﬁle for the EFI volume.

If ﬁle is a directory,

efi_rm

prints a diagnostic message and returns without removing the directory; use

eﬁ_rmdir(1M) to remove EFI directories. ﬁle should be relative to the root of the EFI volume speciﬁed by

deviceﬁle, not to an HP-UX ﬁle system.

Options

efi_rm recognizes the following option:

-d devicefile deviceﬁle is the device special ﬁle of the EFI ﬁle system from which the ﬁle is to be

removed. Without the

-d option, efi_rm uses the device ﬁle speciﬁed in the environ-

ment variable EFI_PARTITION if it is deﬁned. The

-d option overrides the

EFI_PARTITION environment variable.

RETURN VALUE

efi_rm returns exit code 0 if the ﬁle is removed successfully. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message

and returns nonzero.

0 Successful completion.

>0 Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES

Remove bootfile from /hp-ux/efi/ of device ﬁle /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s1

, which contains an

EFI ﬁle system:

efi_rm -d /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s1 /hp-ux/efi/bootfile
