As you remember the entry point for our UEFI programs is:
```
EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
UefiMain (
IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *SystemTable
)
```
The passed structure `EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE` looks like this according to UEFI specification:
```
typedef struct {
EFI_TABLE_HEADER Hdr;
CHAR16 *FirmwareVendor;
UINT32 FirmwareRevision;
EFI_HANDLE ConsoleInHandle;
EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL *ConIn;
EFI_HANDLE ConsoleOutHandle;
EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL *ConOut;
EFI_HANDLE StandardErrorHandle;
EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL *StdErr;
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES *RuntimeServices;
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES *BootServices;
UINTN NumberOfTableEntries;
EFI_CONFIGURATION_TABLE *ConfigurationTable;
} EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE;
```
We've already used most of the fields of this structure. Now it is time to peek inside these fields:
```
UINTN NumberOfTableEntries;
EFI_CONFIGURATION_TABLE *ConfigurationTable
```
According to the UEFI spec:
```
NumberOfTableEntries The number of system configuration tables in the buffer ConfigurationTable.
ConfigurationTable A pointer to the system configuration tables. The number of entries in the table is NumberOfTableEntries.
```
As for EFI_CONFIGURATION_TABLE type:
```
EFI_CONFIGURATION_TABLE
Summary:
Contains a set of GUID/pointer pairs comprised of the ConfigurationTable field in the EFI System Table.
typedef struct{
EFI_GUID VendorGuid;
VOID *VendorTable;
} EFI_CONFIGURATION_TABLE;
```
Let's create a simple program `ShowTables` to look at tables referenced by this structure in OVMF:
```
#include <Library/UefiBootServicesTableLib.h>
#include <Library/UefiLib.h>
EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
UefiMain (
IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *SystemTable
)
{
for (UINTN i=0; i<SystemTable->NumberOfTableEntries; i++) {
Print(L"%g, %p\n", SystemTable->ConfigurationTable[i].VendorGuid,
SystemTable->ConfigurationTable[i].VendorTable);
}
return EFI_SUCCESS;
}
```
Build and execute it under OVMF:
```
