Subject: Format a volume in UEFI (or delete all files)
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2016 10:48:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABKwMdu6iTg9bVhKXzosfLpmCKOH0Cka=ZBahesri+ZTRTQ2Xw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I need to format fs1: (or delete all files and folders in root directory)
from my UEFI application.

I'm able to use file system APIs such as Open, Write or Delete too. But
Delete API needs File (file path) as argument, but what I want is delete
all files (irrespective of file name).

What could be the best method? Is there any API to directly delete all
files? If not, How to go through (Open) all files and delete each?

How I can get each file and folder names in a directory programmatically ?

Thanks.
With regards,
Keshava
