[Nix-dev] efibootmgr: A Linux user-space application to modify the Intel Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager

[Shea Levy]

Hi all,

I've written a nix expression for efibootmgr, a tool which allows you to 
modify some of the nvram variables used by EFI and UEFI systems to 
manage the boot process. efibootmgr should compile on non-{U,}EFI 
systems, but since the tool relies on the information exported by the 
efivars kernel module, which in turn requires that the kernel be booted 
in {U,}EFI mode, it's useless unless you have a {U,}EFI system.

Cheers,
Shea Levy
