+efibootmgr is a Linux user-space application to modify the Intel Extensible
+Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager. This application can create and
+destroy boot entries, change the boot order, change the next running boot
+option, and more.
+
+Details on the EFI Boot Manager are available from the EFI Specification,
+v1.02 or above, available from:
+
+http://developer.intel.com
+
+Note: In order to use this, you'll have to boot your system in EFI mode and
+load the "efivars" kernel module:
+
+modprobe efivars
