# Appendix D Sample Library INF Files

The following INF file are examples of INF files for the EDK II MdePkg library, PeiServicesTablePointerLib and the MdeModulePkg libraries, DxeCoreMemoryAllocationLib.inf and SmmCorePerformanceLib.inf.

## D.1 PeiServicesTablePointerLib.inf

```
## @file
# Instance of PEI Services Table Pointer Library using global variable for the table pointer.
#
# PEI Services Table Pointer Library implementation that retrieves a
# pointer to the PEI Services Table from a global variable. Not available
# to modules that execute from read-only memory.

## D.2 DxeCoreMemoryAllocationLib.inf

```
## @file
# Memory Allocation Library instance dedicated to DXE Core.
#
# The implementation borrows the DxeCore Memory Allocation services as
# the primitive for memory allocation instead of using UEFI boot
# services in an indirect way.
# It is assumed that this library instance must be linked with DxeCore
# in this package.

## D.3 SmmCorePerformanceLib.inf

```
## @file
# Performance library instance used by SMM Core.
#
# This library provides the performance measurement interfaces and
# initializes performance logging for the SMM phase.
# It initializes SMM phase performance logging by publishing the SMM
# Performance and PerformanceEx Protocol, which is consumed by
# SmmPerformanceLib to logging performance data in SMM phase.
# This library is mainly used by SMM Core to start performance logging
# to ensure that SMM Performance and PerformanceEx Protocol are
# installed at the very beginning of SMM phase.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://lersek.gitbook.io/laszlo-s-fork-of-the-edk-ii-module-information-inf/pkgs_order/appendix_d_sample_library_inf_files.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
