17.4.65 search
--------------
-- Command: search [--file|--label|--fs-uuid] [--set [var]]
[--no-floppy|--efidisk-only] name
Search devices by file (‘-f’, ‘--file’), filesystem label (‘-l’,
‘--label’), or filesystem UUID (‘-u’, ‘--fs-uuid’).
If the (‘-s’, ‘--set’) option is used, the first device found is
set as the value of environment variable VAR. The default variable
is ‘root’.
The (‘-n’, ‘--no-floppy’) option prevents searching floppy devices,
which can be slow.
The (‘--efidisk-only’) option prevents searching any other devices
then EFI disks. This is typically used when chainloading to local
EFI partition.
The ‘search.file’, ‘search.fs_label’, and ‘search.fs_uuid’ commands
are aliases for ‘search --file’, ‘search --label’, and ‘search
--fs-uuid’ respectively.
Also hints as to which device may be the most likely to contain the
item searched for may be given via the (‘-h’, ‘--hint’) option with
a device name as an argument. If the argument ends with a comma,
then partitions on the device are also searched. Furthermore,
platform specific hints may be given via the options
‘--hint-ieee1275’, ‘--hint-bios’, ‘--hint-baremetal’, ‘--hint-efi’,
and ‘--hint-arc’. When specified, these options take an argument
and operate like ‘--hint’, but only on the specified platform.
