D. Appendix D — Status Codes

EFI interfaces return an EFI_STATUS code. See EFI_STATUS Success Codes (High Bit Clear) , EFI_STATUS Error Codes (High Bit Set) , EFI_STATUS Warning Codes (High Bit Clear) list these codes for success, errors, and warnings, respectively. The range of status codes that have the highest bit set and the next to highest bit clear are reserved for use by EFI. The range of status codes that have both the highest bit set and the next to highest bit set are reserved for use by OEMs. Success and warning codes have their highest bit clear, so all success and warning codes have positive values. The range of status codes that have both the highest bit clear and the next to highest bit clear are reserved for use by EFI. The range of status code that have the highest bit clear and the next to highest bit set are reserved for use by OEMs. The Table below lists the status code ranges described above.

0xa0000000-0xbfffffff	0xa0000000000000 00-0xbfffffffffffffff	Error codes reserved for use by the Platform Initialization Architecture Specification.
0xc0000000- 0xffffffff	0xc000000000000000- 0xcfffffffffffffff	Error codes reserved for OEM usage.

Table D.2 EFI_STATUS Success Codes (High Bit Clear)

Mnemonic	Value	Description
EFI_SUCCESS	0	The operation completed successfully.

Table D.3 EFI_STATUS Error Codes (High Bit Set)

Mnemonic	Value	Description

EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	7	The physical device reported an error while attempting the operation.
EFI_WRITE_PROTECTED	8	The device cannot be written to.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	9	A resource has run out.
EFI_VOLUME_CORRUPTED	10	An inconstancy was detected on the file system causing the operating to fail.
EFI_VOLUME_FULL	11	There is no more space on the file system.
EFI_NO_MEDIA	12	The device does not contain any medium to perform the operation.
EFI_MEDIA_CHANGED	13	The medium in the device has changed since the last access.
EFI_NOT_FOUND	14	The item was not found.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	15	Access was denied.
EFI_NO_RESPONSE	16	The server was not found or did not respond to the request.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	17	A mapping to a device does not exist.
EFI_TIMEOUT	18	The timeout time expired.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	19	The protocol has not been started.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED	20	The protocol has already been started.
EFI_ABORTED	21	The operation was aborted.
EFI_ICMP_ERROR	22	An ICMP error occurred during the network operation.
EFI_TFTP_ERROR	23	A TFTP error occurred during the network operation.
EFI_PROTOCOL_ERROR	24	A protocol error occurred during the network operation.
EFI_INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION	25	The function encountered an internal version that was incompatible with a version requested by the caller.
EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION	26	The function was not performed due to a security violation.
EFI_CRC_ERROR	27	A CRC error was detected.
EFI_END_OF_MEDIA	28	Beginning or end of media was reached
EFI_END_OF_FILE	31	The end of the file was reached.
EFI_INVALID_LANGUAGE	32	The language specified was invalid.
EFI_COMPROMISED_DATA	33	The security status of the data is unknown or compromised and the data must be updated or replaced to restore a valid security status.
EFI_IP_ADDRESS_CONFLICT	34	There is an address conflict address allocation
EFI_HTTP_ERROR	35	A HTTP error occurred during the network operation.

Table D.4 EFI_STATUS Warning Codes (High Bit Clear)

Mnemonic	Value	Description
EFI_WARN_UNKNOWN_GLYPH	1	The string contained one or more characters that the device could not render and were skipped.
EFI_WARN_DELETE_FAILURE	2	The handle was closed, but the file was not deleted.
EFI_WARN_WRITE_FAILURE	3	The handle was closed, but the data to the file was not flushed properly.
EFI_WARN_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL	4	The resulting buffer was too small, and the data was truncated to the buffer size.
EFI_WARN_STALE_DATA	5	The data has not been updated within the timeframe set by local policy for this type of data.
EFI_WARN_FILE_SYSTEM	6	The resulting buffer contains UEFI-compliant file system.
EFI_WARN_RESET_REQUIRED	7	The operation will be processed across a system reset.
