# UEFI Linux

No, this projects aim is *not* booting Linux from UEFI (which is already possible), but instead to emulate basic Linux system calls within the UEFI environment.

## Why???

For fun. Nothing else. It this project would, in theory, eventually allow you to use any Linux C library in the UEFI environment.

## Status

Implemented:

 - Console I/O

 - File I/O

 - Directory I/O

 - Basic memory management (mmap/munmap)

 - Time keeping (gettimeofday/select)

 - Exit/Reboot/Poweroff

 - Basic signals (`getpid()` returns a PID that can be `kill()`ed)

 - System call emulation through function call

Planned:

 - Networking

Won't happen:

 - Multhreading

 - `syscall` instruction emulation

## Misc

This is purely a showcase, not a library meant for production use. I will give no support of any kind, but I'm happy to answer any development related questions you may have.
