💖 EFIBOOTDUMP(8) 💖

✨ NAME ✨

okay so efibootdump is the tool that dumps boot entries out of a variable or a file 🧚 it's giving very focused energy

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

efibootdump [-?|--help] [--usage]
     [-f <file1> [... -f <fileN>]]
     [[-g {guid}] <name0> [... [<nameN>]]]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ngl this one is so useful bestie 🫶 efibootdump is a userspace app that displays individual UEFI boot options. You can read them from a file or straight from a UEFI variable, so saved files from efivarfs can get displayed, and so can the variables on the machine you're currently running. The vibe is pure main character energy 💅

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

These are the options efibootmgr accepts, lowkey the full list 👑

• -g | --guid {guid} — any variables you name get the GUID you pass in here 🔥
• -f | --file <file> — reads one boot variable out of the file you point at 📂
• <nameN> — displays that variable on the local machine. If you don't give a GUID, it defaults to EFI Global Variable, no cap 🌈

💜 BUGS 💜

bestie, if you find a bug, a feature idea, a patch, or anything else, send it to the Red Hat bootloader team at https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr 🙈
