Re: [edk] Including a shell application binary as a shell internal command

[Carsey, J. <jab...@in...>]

The short answer is 'maybe.'

Do you want to include 2 applications as internal commands in the shell?  Do you want to include 1 internal command and 1 internal binary?  It's not clear to me.

In the UEFI Shell there is, I think, no way (without violating the spec) to have either an internal command or a shell application call an internal command.

In the EDK Shell this restriction is not present.

Subject: [edk] Including a shell application binary as a shell internal command

Hi all,

I have been reading on how to port shell external commands to internal ones. Nevertheless I would like to know if there is some way to port a binary shell application to a internal command: I mean, creating a shell application (which I would later port to internal command ) which launches another shell application included as a binary.

Other option would be to create directly an internal command from a binary.

Any tutorial or advice on how to do this?

Thanks in advance
