EfiController

class efiboot.EfiController

An abstract base class for EFI controllers.

Controllers provide methods to read and modify EFI variables. Most importantly, a controller is capable of creating and deleting boot entries.

Almost all controller methods return an EfiState which provides a view of the EFI variables after each operation.
