[edk2-devel] Refactoring the UEFI shell

Hi all,
We're planning to refactor the shell into a library so that shell apps
possibly used in the field for testing can be easily adapted for automation.

Our plan is:

   - Refactor ShellInfoObject into base internals and interactive elements
   - Migrate functions that imply interactivity into a new library class,
   and write some stubs in a LibNull
   - Refactor last shell app files (file interface, shell env var) into
   another (or same) library
   - Implement non-interactive functions, as required
   - Write an example implementation in MdeModulePkg/Application/


We're looking for thoughts and ideas on our approach, as well as opinions
on the concept.

Best regards,
Benjamin

Hi, Sheng:
Could you help to implement a new redirection mechanism?
For example:
User wants to output messages on screen, and also redirect the output  messages into a file at the same time .


Current redirection mechanism is a alternative choice.
