Binary release

Compiling programs for UEFI is not always convenient, especially for an application. Therefore, precompiled application is distributed. You can find binaries (for x86_64) at joursoir.net/storage/binaries/ufm.

This example of launching an application is possible if it's integrated in the Shell. In other case, go to the desired file system and run UfmApp.efi

The app doesn't currently support command line arguments
