-It is common in UEFI code to use construct like this:
-```
-if (!EFI_ERROR(Status) {
- ...
-} else {
- ...
-}
-```
-
-For the internal implementation of EFI_STATUS functionality look at the files:
-MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiBaseType.h
-MdePkg/Include/Base.h
-
-```
-#define EFI_ERROR(A) RETURN_ERROR(A)
-
-...
-
-/**
- Returns TRUE if a specified RETURN_STATUS code is an error code.
-
- This function returns TRUE if StatusCode has the high bit set. Otherwise, FALSE is returned.
-
- @param StatusCode The status code value to evaluate.
-
- @retval TRUE The high bit of StatusCode is set.
- @retval FALSE The high bit of StatusCode is clear.
-
-**/
-#define RETURN_ERROR(StatusCode) (((INTN)(RETURN_STATUS)(StatusCode)) < 0)
-
-...
-
-//
-// Status codes common to all execution phases
-//
-typedef UINTN RETURN_STATUS;
-```
-
-So the `EFI_ERROR` macro simply test if a passed value is negative which is the same fact for a signed integer that is has high bit set.
-
-Enumration of possible EFI_STATUS values is in the file MdePkg/Include/Uefi/UefiBaseType.h

-Let's use `EFI_ERROR` macro in our code and test error printing with the help of `%r` Print formatting option.
-
-We could test error display with a passing `NULL` pointer instead of ImageHandle:
-```
-Print(L"________\n");
-EFI_GUID **ProtocolGuidArray;
-UINTN ArrayCount;
-EFI_STATUS Status = gBS->ProtocolsPerHandle(NULL,
- &ProtocolGuidArray,
- &ArrayCount);
-
-if (!EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
- for (int i=0; i<ArrayCount; i++) {
- Print(L"%g\n", ProtocolGuidArray[i]);
- }
- FreePool(ProtocolGuidArray);
-} else {
- Print(L"ProtocolsPerHandle error: %r\n", Status);
-}
-```
-
-This would give us this message in OVMF:
-```
-ProtocolsPerHandle error: Invalid Parameter
-```
