UEFIExtract(1)

📦 version 0.28.0+A62, in debian bookworm

Okay bestie, welcome to the UEFIExtract(1) manual page 💖 This one's from the General Commands Manual era and it's giving pure firmware realness ✨

✨ NAME ✨

UEFIExtract — UEFI image file parsing utility 🎀

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

UEFIExtract imagefile
UEFIExtract imagefile {all|unpack|dump|report}
UEFIExtract imagefile GUID_1...  [-o FILE_1...]  [-m MODE_1...]  [-t TYPE_1...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so UEFITool is a cross-platform C++/Qt program for parsing, extracting and modifying UEFI firmware images 🧚 It's literally multi-tool energy. It supports parsing of full BIOS images starting with the flash descriptor, or any binary files containing UEFI volumes 🦋

UEFIExtract uses ffsParser to parse the supplied firmware image into a tree structure, then dumps that parsed structure recursively onto the FS (aka the filesystem) 💜

🍓 COMMAND SYNTAX 🍓

  • <no command> — No command at all? It generates a report and dumps only the leaf tree items into the .dump folder 🌸
  • all — Report AND dump, every single tree item, no cap 💅
  • unpack — Dumps all tree items into one single dir, and it still makes a report 📦
  • dump — Just the dump, bestie. No report needed 🫶
  • report — Just the report, no dump needed, we are simply not doing the dump 🙈
  • GUID_1... — Dump only FFS file(s) with specific GUID(s), without a report 🔥

For the GUID_1... form, TYPE is the section type (or FF to ignore it), and MODE is one of: all, body, header, info, file ✨

The return value is a bit mask 👑 A 0 at position N means the file with GUID_N was found and unpacked, and a 1 otherwise 💀
