See efi(4). devicefile should be the device file for the EFI volume. If directory is not a directory or the directory is not empty, prints a diagnostic message and returns without removing the file; use efi_rm(1M) to remove EFI files. directory should be relative to root of the EFI volume specified by devicefile, not to an HP-UX file sys- tem. Options recognizes the following option: devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system from which the directory is to be removed. Without the option, uses the device file specified in the environment variable if it is defined. The option overrides the environment variable. RETURN VALUE
