Re: [edk2] Format a volume in UEFI (or delete all files)

Thanks Laszlo. Is it possible to run RM (or any shell command) from my C application code? Something like "System()" in Linux? Whether we can use LoadImage for this purpose? Thanks again. Regards, Keshava On Wed 12 Oct, 2016 11:10 pm Laszlo Ersek, wrote: > On 10/12/16

Re: [edk2] Format a volume in UEFI (or delete all files)

depending on his use case it can be unnecessary to do a low level FS format though(he said that he just wants to delete all files). It can also become problematic if you consider that the original filesystem doesn't have to be FAT. Thanks Michael On Wed, Oct 12, 2016 at 7:46 PM, Richardson,

There is an effort to move these tools to EDK II. More news as it happens. Thanks ... br --- Brian Richardson, Senior Technical Marketing Engineer, Intel Software brian.richard...@intel.com -- http://evangelists.intel.com/bio/Brian_Richardson_ -Original Message- From: edk2-devel

Re: [edk2] Format a volume in UEFI (or delete all files)

Thanks Laszlo, I'll check it out. I think I need to combine the LS implementation and RM implementation, isn't it? So there is no "format this volume" function or command exists, right? Thanks again! Regards, Keshava On Wed 12 Oct, 2016 8:01 pm Laszlo Ersek, wrote: > On

[edk2] Format a volume in UEFI (or delete all files)

Hi all, I need to format fs1: (or delete all files and folders in root directory) from my UEFI application. I'm able to use file system APIs such as Open, Write or Delete too. But Delete API needs File (file path) as argument, but what I want is delete all files (irrespective of file name).
