Bootloader and UEFI support libraries.

OpenCore provides a bootloader, a development SDK and UEFI support libraries used by Acidanthera projects. The libraries add functions for Apple-specific UEFI drivers, including disk-image loading, keyboard input aggregation and audio with screen-reading support. Developers can also use ACPI and SMBIOS manipulation, configuration parsing, graphics output, and an XNU kernel-driver injection and patch engine.
