- Description
- The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)contains information on how the boot process should be carried out. It accurately outlines the interface between the OS and the platform firmware. It replaces the previous Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware in the IBM PC. With UEFI, you don't have to install an OS for remote repairs and troubleshooting of computers.
- This format works based on the LZMA principle compression algorithm. It was originally used in 7-Zip archives. tar.7z archives were created for storing info about file owners and for ease of use in Unix systems, based on a TAR archiving tool.
