2 Provides library functions to construct and parse UEFI Device Paths.
4 This library provides defines, macros, and functions to help create and parse
5 EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL structures. The macros that help create and parse device
6 path nodes make use of the ReadUnaligned16() and WriteUnaligned16() functions from
7 the Base Library, so this library class has an implied dependency on the Base Library.
