Shell Command Reference Manual

The EFI Shell environment provides a rich set of commands that extend and enhance

the EFI Shell capability. These commands can be used directly from a command

prompt.

This document describes all the shell commands a user can execute directly in EFI

Shell command prompt.

Shell commands can be categorized as two sets. One is built into the Default Build

Shell and the other is only built into the Full Build Shell. Both of Shell Builds can be

obtained from the EDK release package, It can be downloaded from

http://edk.tianocore.org.

The Default Build Shell location:

Edk\Other\Maintained\Application\$(UEFI_PREFIX)Shell\bin\$(PROCESSOR)\She

ll.efi

The Full Build Shell location:

Edk\Other\Maintained\Application\$(UEFI_PREFIX)Shell\bin\$(PROCESSOR)\She

ll_Full.efi

UEFI_PREFIX is “Uefi” if the image is UEFI build or “” if the image is EFI build, and

PROCESSOR could be ia32, x64 or ipf.

This document describes both command categories.
