* Documentation: Mark the 'efivars' sysfs interface as removedTim Schumacher2024-04-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'efivars' sysfs interface was removed in commit 0f5b2c69a4cb ("efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs interface"), but the ABI documentation was not updated properly. Strip down the documentation file for /sys/firmware/efi/vars to a very basic description of what the interface was about, add a section about the rough removal timeline, and inform the reader about the intended replacement.

* docs: filesystems: add info about efivars contentFlavio Suligoi2020-05-251-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an EFI variable is reading from: /sys/firmware/efi/efivars (for example using "hexdump"), the first 4 bytes of the output are not the real EFI variable data, but the variable attributes (in little-endian format).
