Description
Feature Overview
GetVariable()
Summary
Returns the value of a variable.
Prototype
typedef
EFI_STATUS
GetVariable (
IN CHAR16 *VariableName,
IN EFI_GUID *VendorGuid,
OUT UINT32 *Attributes OPTIONAL,
IN OUT UINTN *DataSize,
OUT VOID *Data OPTIONAL
)
There is a provision in the spec to get only the variable Attributes using the GetVariable() function.
This is a case where the data to store the variable is not passed and DataSize is set to 0
This is newly added in UEFI v2.8
Reference: https://mantis.uefi.org/mantis/view.php?id=1954
Solution Overview
Two new cases may be added to GetVariable() Testing
Case 1: Attributes is not NULL. DataSize is 0, Data is NULL
Case 2: Attributes is not NULL. DataSize is sufficient, Data points valid memory (Normal Success Case)
In both cases, the Attributes must be set properly.
