Module uefi::data_types

Data type definitions

This module defines the basic data types that are used throughout uefi-rs

Re-exports

• pub use self::chars::Char16;
• pub use self::chars::Char8;

Modules

• chars
  UEFI character handling

Structs

• CStr8
  A null-terminated Latin-1 string.
• CStr16
  An UCS-2 null-terminated string slice.
• CString16alloc
  An owned UCS-2 null-terminated string.
• Event
  Handle to an event structure, guaranteed to be non-null.
• Guid
  Globally-unique identifier.
• Handle
  Opaque handle to an UEFI entity (protocol, image…), guaranteed to be non-null.
• UnalignedSlice
  Slice backed by a potentially-unaligned pointer.

Enums

• FromSliceWithNulError
  Errors which can occur during checked [uN] -> CStrN conversions
• FromStrErroralloc
  Error returned by CString16::try_from::<&str>.
• FromStrWithBufError
  Error returned by CStr16::from_str_with_buf.
• UnalignedCStr16Error
  Error returned by CStr16::from_unaligned_slice.

Traits

• Align
  Trait for querying the alignment of a struct.
• EqStrUntilNul
  The EqStrUntilNul trait helps to compare Rust strings against UEFI string types (UCS-2 strings). The given generic implementation of this trait enables us that we only have to implement one direction (left.eq_str_until_nul(&right)) for each UEFI string type and we get the other direction (right.eq_str_until_nul(&left)) for free. Hence, the relation is reflexive.
• Identify
  Several entities in the UEFI specification can be referred to by their GUID, this trait is a building block to interface them in uefi-rs.

Type Aliases

• PhysicalAddress
  Physical memory address. This is always a 64-bit value, regardless of target platform.
• VirtualAddress
  Virtual memory address. This is always a 64-bit value, regardless of target platform.
