desc = <<EOD
This package provides several utilities which can be used to interface with
the UEFI firmware from a running system:

* efibootmgr(8) allows the EFI Boot Manager configuration to be inspected
  and modified, for example to change the devices the system will attempt
  to boot from.

* efivar(8) manages UEFI environment variables.

* efiwake(8) manages the EFI wake timer, which can be used to automatically
  wake the system from ACPI sleep states at a specified time.

* efidp(8) converts UEFI Device Paths between textual and binary formats.

* efitable(8) can dump UEFI tables.
