+Let's talk about the `Human Interface Infrastructure (HII)` in the UEFI.
+
+Every BIOS has some form of interaction with a user. For example it can have an `image` that you see on boot. If you press a special key on boot you would go to the BIOS menu, which would have some `forms` to control BIOS settings. Text in those forms can be written with custom `fonts`. If you change language setting in BIOS, all the `strings` in the interface should be translated to the new language.
+
+The main goal of HII is to provide a standartizied interface to retreive and extend all these different parts of human interface. With HII external driver/application has an easy way to install new elements (such as fonts, strings, images and forms) to the platfrom or get the ones that are currently available for its internal use.
+
+This is possible because all the HII data is getting stored in a special database - HII Database, which acts as a central repository for the entire platform.
+
+In the end a so called `Form Browser` would use HII Database data to display user interface and interact with a user.
+
+Let's create an application that would explore the HII Database content.
+
+We've created new apps many times already, so I've decided to create a template script to ease this repetative task. Put script `createNewApp.sh` in the root of `edk2` folder and initialize new app `ShowHII`:
+```
+./createNewApp.sh ShowHII
+```
+This would create `UefiLessonsPkg/ShowHII` app folder with an INF and *.c file.
+Add newly created app to the `UefiLessonsPkg/UefiLessonsPkg.dsc`
+```
+[Components]
+ ...
+ UefiLessonsPkg/ShowHII/ShowHII.inf
+```
+To access HII database we need to get `EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL`:
+```
+EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL
+
+Summary:
+Database manager for HII-related data structures.
+
+Protocol:
+typedef struct _EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL {
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_NEW_PACK NewPackageList;
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_REMOVE_PACK RemovePackageList;
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_UPDATE_PACK UpdatePackageList;
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_LIST_PACKS ListPackageLists;
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_EXPORT_PACKS ExportPackageLists;
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_REGISTER_NOTIFY RegisterPackageNotify;
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_UNREGISTER_NOTIFY UnregisterPackageNotify;
+ EFI_HII_FIND_KEYBOARD_LAYOUTS FindKeyboardLayouts;
+ EFI_HII_GET_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT GetKeyboardLayout;
+ EFI_HII_SET_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT SetKeyboardLayout;
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_GET_PACK_HANDLE GetPackageListHandle;
+} EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL;
+```
+
+Right now we are interested in the function `ExportPackageLists`:
+```
+EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL.ExportPackageLists()
+
+Summary:
+Exports the contents of one or all package lists in the HII database into a buffer.
+
+Prototype:
+typedef
+EFI_STATUS
+(EFIAPI *EFI_HII_DATABASE_EXPORT_PACKS) (
+ IN CONST EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL *This,
+ IN EFI_HII_HANDLE Handle,
+ IN OUT UINTN *BufferSize,
+ OUT EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER *Buffer
+ );
+
+Parameters:
+This A pointer to the EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL instance.
+Handle An EFI_HII_HANDLE that corresponds to the desired package list in the HII
+ database to export or NULL to indicate all package lists should be exported.
+BufferSize On input, a pointer to the length of the buffer. On output, the length of the buffer
+ that is required for the exported data.
+Buffer A pointer to a buffer that will contain the results of the export function.
+```
+As you can see as a result of this function we would get `package lists`. That is because data in the HII database is organized in these package lists identified by GUID. In turn each package list can have several packages of different types (form/font/strings/...).
+
+First we need to locate the `EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL` in our application:
+```
+ EFI_STATUS Status;
+ EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL* HiiDbProtocol;
+ Status = gBS->LocateProtocol(&gEfiHiiDatabaseProtocolGuid,
+ NULL,
+ (VOID**)&HiiDbProtocol);
+ if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
+ Print(L"ERROR: Could not find HII Database protocol: %r\n", Status);
+ return Status;
+ }
+```
+For correct build don't forget to add `gEfiHiiDatabaseProtocolGuid` to the `ShowHII.inf` file:
+```
+[Protocols]
+ gEfiHiiDatabaseProtocolGuid
+```
+And add necessary include in the `ShowHII.c` file:
+```
+#include <Protocol/HiiDatabase.h>
+```
+
+Now let's use the protocol `ExportPackageLists` function. Couple of things to mention:
+- we would use `NULL` for the `Handle` parameter to get not some package list from the database, but all the package lists from the database,
+- we don't know the size of the output array beforehand. To get it `ExportPackageLists` use the standard UEFI mechanics:
+1) first we call `ExportPackageLists` with a `BufferSize=0`. As a result we should get `EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL` as a return value, but the `BufferSize` would be filled with a necessary size value,
+2) we allocate buffer of necessary size with a `gBS->AllocatePool` call,
+3) we call `ExportPackageLists` one more time, now with correct buffer and size.
+- don't forget to free allocated buffer when it is necessay. For this you can utilize `FreePool` function from the `Library/MemoryAllocationLib.h`
+```
+ UINTN PackageListSize = 0;
+ EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER* PackageList = NULL;
+
+ Status = HiiDbProtocol->ExportPackageLists(HiiDbProtocol,
+ NULL, // All package lists
+ &PackageListSize,
+ PackageList);
+ if (Status != EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL) {
+ Print(L"ERROR: Could not obtain package list size\n");
+ return Status;
+ }
+
+ Status = gBS->AllocatePool(EfiBootServicesData,
+ PackageListSize,
+ (VOID**)&PackageList);
+ if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
+ Print(L"ERROR: Could not allocate sufficient memory for package list: %r\n", Status);
+ return Status;
+ }
+
+
+ Status = HiiDbProtocol->ExportPackageLists(HiiDbProtocol,
+ NULL,
+ &PackageListSize,
+ PackageList);
+ if (EFI_ERROR(Status)) {
+ Print(L"ERROR: Could not retrieve the package list: %r\n", Status);
+ FreePool(PackageList);
+ return Status;
+ }
+
+ // <Process data>
+
+ FreePool(PackageList);
+```
+
+Now let's process data that we've acquired. Our data is a set of package lists, each of which has a special header `EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER`:
+```
+EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER
+Summary:
+The header found at the start of each package list.
+
+Prototype:
+typedef struct {
+ EFI_GUID PackageListGuid;
+ UINT32 PackagLength;
+} EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER;
+
+Members:
+PackageListGuid The unique identifier applied to the list of packages which follows.
+PackageLength The size of the package list (in bytes), including the header.
+```
+
+Let's create a function with a loop that would parse the data and print all the info from these package list headers:
+```
+VOID ParseHiiPackageLists(EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER* HiiDatabase, UINTN HiiDatabaseSize)
+{
+ EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER* HiiPackageListHeader;
+ HiiPackageListHeader = (EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER*) HiiDatabase;
+
+ UINTN i=0;
+ while ((UINTN) HiiPackageListHeader < ((UINTN) HiiDatabase + HiiDatabaseSize)) {
+ UINTN HiiPackageListSize = HiiPackageListHeader->PackageLength;
+ if (HiiPackageListSize == 0)
+ break;
+ Print(L"PackageList[%d]: GUID=%g; size=0x%X\n", i++, HiiPackageListHeader->PackageListGuid, HiiPackageListHeader->PackageLength);
+
+ <...> // Parse PackageList
+
+ // Go to next PackageList
+ HiiPackageListHeader = (EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER*)((UINTN) HiiPackageListHeader + HiiPackageListSize);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Call this function with a:
+```
+ParseHiiPackageLists(PackageList, PackageListSize);
+```
+
+If we build and execute our application right now, we would get something like this:
+```

+PackageList[19]: GUID=7C04A583-9E3E-4F1C-AD65-E05268D0B4D1; size=0x5CB
+```
+
+Now let's investigate our PackageLists. Each `PackageList` consist of several packages which starts right after the `EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER`. Each package in turn would have its own `EFI_HII_PACKAGE_HEADER`:
+```
+EFI_HII_PACKAGE_HEADER
+
+Summary:
+The header found at the start of each package.
+
+Prototype:
+typedef struct {
+ UINT32 Length:24;
+ UINT32 Type:8;
+ UINT8 Data[ … ];
+} EFI_HII_PACKAGE_HEADER;
+
+Members:
+Length The size of the package in bytes.
+Type The package type. See EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_x, below.
+Data The package data, the format of which is determined by Type.
+```
+
+Here are descriptions for some of the available package types:
+```
+Package Type Description:
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_ALL 0x00 // Pseudo-package type used when exporting package lists.
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_GUID 0x01 // Package type where the format of the data
+ // is specified using a GUID immediately
+ // following the package header.
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_FORMS 0x02 // Forms package.
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_STRINGS 0x04 // Strings package
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_FONTS 0x05 // Fonts package.
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_IMAGES 0x06 // Images package.
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_SIMPLE_FONTS 0x07 // Simplified (8x19, 16x19) Fonts package
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_DEVICE_PATH 0x08 // Binary-encoded device path.
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_ANIMATIONS 0x0A // Animations package.
+#define EFI_HII_PACKAGE_END 0xDF // Used to mark the end of a package list.
+```
+
+Package list can have as many packages as needed. All of them would be concatenated together. After all the data packages in a package list there should be a package of type `EFI_HII_PACKAGE_END` that mark the end of the package list.
+
+With all this info in mind let's add code that would parse all the packages inside the package list:
+```
+EFI_HII_PACKAGE_HEADER* HiiPackageHeader = (EFI_HII_PACKAGE_HEADER*)((UINTN) HiiPackageListHeader + sizeof(EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_HEADER));
+UINTN j=0;
+while ((UINTN) HiiPackageHeader < ((UINTN) HiiPackageListHeader + HiiPackageListSize)) {
+ Print(L"\tPackage[%d]: type=%s; size=0x%X\n", j++, PackageType(HiiPackageHeader->Type), HiiPackageHeader->Length);
+
+ // Go to next Package
+ HiiPackageHeader = (EFI_HII_PACKAGE_HEADER*)((UINTN) HiiPackageHeader + HiiPackageHeader->Length);
+}
+```
+Here I've used `PackageType` function to transform package type value to a printable string. This function can be defined like this:
+```
+CHAR16* PackageType(UINTN Type)
+{
+ switch(Type) {
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_ALL:
+ return L"ALL";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_GUID:
+ return L"GUID";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_FORMS:
+ return L"FORMS";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_STRINGS:
+ return L"STRINGS";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_FONTS:
+ return L"FONTS";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_IMAGES:
+ return L"IMAGES";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_SIMPLE_FONTS:
+ return L"SIMPLE_FONTS";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_DEVICE_PATH:
+ return L"DEVICE_PATH";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT:
+ return L"KEYBOARD_LAYOUT";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_ANIMATIONS:
+ return L"ANIMATIONS";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_END:
+ return L"END";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_SYSTEM_BEGIN:
+ return L"SYSTEM_BEGIN";
+ case EFI_HII_PACKAGE_TYPE_SYSTEM_END:
+ return L"SYSTEM_END";
+ }
+ return L"UNKNOWN";
+}
+```
+
+Now it is time to build our app and execute it under OVMF:
