LargeVariableReadLib is used to retrieve large data sets using the UEFI Variable Services. At time of writting, most UEFI Variable Services implementations to not allow more than 64KB of data to be stored in a single UEFI variable. This library will split data sets across multiple variables as needed. It adds the GetLargeVariable() API to provide this service. The primary use for this library is to create binary compatible drivers and OpROMs which need to work both with TianoCore and other UEFI PI implementations. When customizing and recompiling the platform firmware image is possible, adjusting the value of PcdMaxVariableSize may provide a simpler solution to this problem.

# Component description file for Large Variable Read Library
|
|
#
|
|
# This library is used to retrieve large data sets using the UEFI Variable
|
|
# Services. At time of writing, most UEFI Variable Services implementations do
|
|
# not allow more than 64KB of data to be stored in a single UEFI variable. This
|
|
# library will split data sets across multiple variables as needed.
|
|
#
|
|
# In the case where more than one variable is needed to store the data, an
|
|
# integer number will be added to the end of the variable name. This number
|
|
# will be incremented for each variable as needed to retrieve the entire data
|
|
# set.
|
|
#
|
|
# The primary use for this library is to create binary compatible drivers
|
|
# and OpROMs which need to work both with TianoCore and other UEFI PI
|
|
# implementations. When customizing and recompiling the platform firmware image
|
|
# is possible, adjusting the value of PcdMaxVariableSize may provide a simpler
|
|
# solution to this problem.
