Detailed Description

Add LICK to the current boot loader (or set up a new boot loader)

Function Documentation

int check_fix_loader	(	loader_t *	l,

	)

determine if the loader has been fixed

Returns

int fix_loader	(	loader_t *	l,

completely replace the Windows EFI loader

Some systems don't follow the UEFI spec, instead opting to boot /EFI/boot/bootx64.efi and/or /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi. This function backs up both of these, then replaces the former.

This requires the bootloader to be installed. This is automatically reversed when uninstalling.

Returns
