C.6 EFI Device Path as a Name Space
Figure C-3 shows the EFI Device Path for the example system represented as a name space. The
Device Path can be represented as a name space, but EFI does support manipulating the Device
Path as a name space. You can only access Device Path information by locating the
DEVICE_PATH_INTERFACE from a handle. Not all the nodes in a Device Path will have a
handle.
