Abstract
An information handling system includes a processor and a memory including code to implement a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). The UEFI includes a UEFI network file system module that provides a first compound command to get directory information for a first directory on a network storage device, provides a second compound command to get file information for the first directory, and provides a third compound command to open a file stored on the first directory. The UEFI also includes a UEFI network protocol module that sends the first compound command, the second compound command, and the third compound command to the network storage device, wherein the first compound command, the second compound command, and the third compound command are sent to the network storage device via a first network transaction.
