Adding keywords is very simple. The only file that we would need to modify is UNI file (`Strings.uni` in this case). + +First we need to add a new namespace id. It is added via the new language definition with an identificator in a format `x-UEFI-*`. Let's use `x-UEFI-OEM` in our case. The language text representation is not important, here we use `"OEM_NameSpace"` as a placeholder: +``` +#langdef x-UEFI-OEM "OEM_NameSpace" +``` + +Now we need to add `#language x-UEFI-OEM "<...>"` string translations to the prompts of all form elements that we want to refer by keywords. For example let's add keys to the Checkbox, Numeric and String elements: +``` +... +#string CHECKBOX_PROMPT #language en-US "Checkbox prompt" + #language x-UEFI-OEM "CheckboxKey" +#string NUMERIC_PROMPT #language en-US "Numeric prompt" + #language x-UEFI-OEM "NumericKey" +#string STRING_PROMPT #language en-US "String prompt" + #language x-UEFI-OEM "StringKey" +... +``` +The provided values inside these translation strings would act as keywords for these elements. Just in case, it is completely allowed to use space `" "` inside a key name. + +Now build the updated driver and load it in the UEFI shell. Here I've decided to create a new driver `HIIFormDataElementsWithKeywords` to keep some separation between the lessons, but generally it is just a copy of `HIIFormDataElements.efi` with the modifications described above: +``` +FS0:\> load HIIFormDataElementsWithKeywords.efi +Image 'FS0:\HIIFormDataElementsWithKeywords.efi' loaded at 6880000 - Success +``` + +Now use `HIIKeyword` application to dump all the keys of our new namespace: +``` +FS0:\> HIIKeyword.efi get "NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM" "" +Response: NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM&PATH=0104140075f599c2ddf17d4db7aae5064b3ecbd77fff0400&KEYWORD=CheckboxKey&VALUE=00&NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM&PATH=0104140075f599c2ddf17d4db7aae5064b3ecbd77fff0400&KEYWORD=NumericKey&VALUE=0000&NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM&PATH=0104140075f599c2ddf17d4db7aae5064b3ecbd77fff0400&KEYWORD=StringKey&VALUE=000000<...> + + +NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM +PATH=0104140075f599c2ddf17d4db7aae5064b3ecbd77fff0400 (VenHw(C299F575-F1DD-4D7D-B7AA-E5064B3ECBD7)) +KEYWORD=CheckboxKey +VALUE=00 +00 | . + +NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM +PATH=0104140075f599c2ddf17d4db7aae5064b3ecbd77fff0400 (VenHw(C299F575-F1DD-4D7D-B7AA-E5064B3ECBD7)) +KEYWORD=NumericKey +VALUE=0000 +00 00 | .. + +NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM +PATH=0104140075f599c2ddf17d4db7aae5064b3ecbd77fff0400 (VenHw(C299F575-F1DD-4D7D-B7AA-E5064B3ECBD7)) +KEYWORD=StringKey +VALUE=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 +00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | ................ +00 00 00 00 | .... + +``` + +You can verify that it is possible to access individual keys: +``` +FS0:\> HIIKeyword.efi get "NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM" "KEYWORD=NumericKey" +Response: NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM&PATH=0104140075f599c2ddf17d4db7aae5064b3ecbd77fff0400&KEYWORD=NumericKey&VALUE=0000 + + +NAMESPACE=x-UEFI-OEM +PATH=0104140075f599c2ddf17d4db7aae5064b3ecbd77fff0400 (VenHw(C299F575-F1DD-4D7D-B7AA-E5064B3ECBD7)) +KEYWORD=NumericKey +VALUE=0000 +00 00 | .. + +``` + +# Use `EFI_KEYWORD_HANDLER_PROTOCOL.SetData()` to modify keyword data + +Now we are ready to add support for keyword data modification to the `HIIKeyword` application.
