Michael Brown 8406115834 [build] Rename gPXE to iPXE
Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.  Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.

Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

FILE OPEN
Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_OPEN (00e0h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_OPEN parameter structure
that has been initialised by the caller.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
Description: Opens a file specified by a URL for reading. Multiple
files may be opened and used concurrently.
typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_OPEN {
PXENV_STATUS Status;
UINT16 FileHandle;
SEGOFF16 FileName;
UINT32 Reserved;
} t_PXENV_FILE_OPEN;
Set before calling API service:
FileName: URL of file to be opened. Null terminated.
Reserved: Must be zero.
Returned from API service:
FileHandle: Handle for use in subsequent PXE FILE API calls.
Status: See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
FILE CLOSE
Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_CLOSE (00e1h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_CLOSE parameter structure
that has been initialised by the caller.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
Description: Closes a previously opened file.
typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_CLOSE {
PXENV_STATUS Status;
UINT16 FileHandle;
} t_PXENV_FILE_CLOSE;
Set before calling API service:
FileHandle: Handle obtained when file was opened.
Returned from API service:
Status: See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
FILE SELECT
Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_SELECT (00e2h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_SELECT parameter structure
that has been initialised by the caller.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
Description: Check a previously opened file's readiness for I/O.
typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_SELECT {
PXENV_STATUS Status;
UINT16 FileHandle;
UINT16 Ready;
#define RDY_READ 0x0001
} t_PXENV_FILE_SELECT;
Set before calling API service:
FileHandle: Handle obtained when file was opened.
Returned from API service:
Ready: Indication of readiness. This can be zero, or more,
of the RDY_xxx constants. Multiple values are
arithmetically or-ed together.
Status: See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
FILE READ
Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_READ (00e3h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_READ parameter structure
that has been initialised by the caller.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
This API function is non-blocking. PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS
and PXENV_STATUS_SUCCESS is returned if a data block
has been transferred into the caller's buffer.
PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE and PXENV_STATUS_TFTP_OPEN is
returned if no data is available to transfer; any
other status code reflects an error.
Description: Read from a previously opened file.
typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_READ {
PXENV_STATUS Status;
UINT16 FileHandle;
UINT16 BufferSize;
SEGOFF16 Buffer;
} t_PXENV_FILE_READ;
Set before calling API service:
FileHandle: Handle obtained when file was opened.
BufferSize: Maximum number of data bytes that can be copied into
Buffer.
Buffer: Segment:Offset address of data buffer.
Returned from API service:
BufferSize: Number of bytes written to the data buffer. End of
file if this is zero.
Status: See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
GET FILE SIZE
Op-Code: PXENV_GET_FILE_SIZE (00e4h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_GET_FILE_SIZE parameter
structure that has been initialised by the caller.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
Description: Determine size of a previously opened file.
typedef struct s_PXENV_GET_FILE_SIZE {
PXENV_STATUS Status;
UINT16 FileHandle;
UINT32 FileSize;
} t_PXENV_GET_FILE_SIZE;
Set before calling API service:
FileHandle: Handle obtained when file was opened.
Returned from API service:
FileSize: Size of the file in bytes.
Status: See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
FILE EXEC
Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_EXEC (00e5h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_EXEC parameter
structure that has been initialized by the caller.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The Status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
Description: Execute a iPXE command.
typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_EXEC {
PXENV_STATUS_t Status;
SEGOFF16_t Command;
} t_PXENV_FILE_EXEC;
Set before calling API service:
Command: Command to execute. Null terminated.
Returned from API service:
Status: See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
FILE API CHECK
Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_API_CHECK (00e6h)
Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_CHECK_API parameter
structure that has been initialized by the caller.
On entry, the Magic field should contain the number
0x91d447b2 or the call will fail.
Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
returned in AX. The Status field in the parameter
structure must be set to one of the values represented
by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
If this API is present and the Magic field contains the
proper value on entry, AX will contain PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS,
the Status field PXENV_STATUS_SUCCESS, and the Magic field
the number 0xe9c17b20. Any other combination should be
considered a failure.
Description: Detect presence of this API.
typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_CHECK_API {
PXENV_STATUS Status;
UINT16 Size;
UINT32 Magic;
UINT32 Provider;
UINT32 APIMask;
UINT32 Flags;
} t_PXENV_FILE_CHECK_API;

Returned from API service:
Size: Set to the number of bytes filled in (20).
Magic: Set to 0xe9c17b20.
Provider: Set to 0x45585067 ("iPXE"). Another implementation of this
API can use another value, e.g. to indicate a different
command set supported by FILE EXEC.
APIMask: Bitmask of supported API functions (one bit for each function
in the range 00e0h to 00ffh).
Flags: Set to zero, reserved for future use.
FILE EXIT HOOK
