+What: /sys/firmware/efi/vars
+Date: April 2004, removed March 2023
+Description:
+ This directory exposed interfaces for interacting with
+ EFI variables. For more information on EFI variables,
+ see 'Variable Services' in the UEFI specification
+ (section 7.2 in specification version 2.3 Errata D).
+
+ The 'efivars' sysfs interface was removed in March of 2023,
+ after being considered deprecated no later than September
+ of 2020. Its functionality has been replaced by the
+ 'efivarfs' filesystem.
