10.10 Simple Pointer Protocol
This section defines the Simple Pointer Protocol and a detailed description of the
EFI_SIMPLE_POINTER_PROTOCOL. The intent of this section is to specify a simple method
for accessing pointer devices. This would include devices such as mice and trackballs.
The EFI_SIMPLE_POINTER_PROTOCOL allows information about a pointer device to be
retrieved. This would include the status of buttons and the motion of the pointer device since the
last time it was accessed. This protocol is attached the device handle of a pointer device, and can
be used for input from the user in the preboot environment.
