+
+#### **Description**
+
+Parses Apple EFI images and identifies them based on Intel's official $IBIOSI$ tag, which contains info such as Model, Version, Build, Date and Time. Optionally, the utility can rename the input Apple EFI image based on the retrieved $IBIOSI$ tag info, while also making sure to differentiate any EFI images with the same $IBIOSI$ tag (e.g. Production, Pre-Production) by appending a checksum of their data.
+
+#### **Usage**
+
+You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter Apple EFI image file(s). Optional arguments:
+  
+* -h or --help : show help message and exit
+* -v or --version : show utility name and version
+* -i or --input-dir : extract from given input directory
+* -o or --output-dir : extract in given output directory
+* -e or --auto-exit : skip press enter to exit prompts
+* -r or --rename : rename EFI image based on its tag
+
+#### **Compatibility**
+
+Should work at all Windows, Linux or macOS operating systems which have Python 3.10 support.
+
+#### **Prerequisites**
+
+To run the utility, you must have the following 3rd party tools at the "external" project directory:
+
+* [UEFIFind](https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool/) (i.e. [UEFIFind.exe for Windows or UEFIFind for Linux](https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool/releases))
+* [UEFIExtract](https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool/) (i.e. [UEFIExtract.exe for Windows or UEFIExtract for Linux](https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool/releases))
+
+#### **Build/Freeze/Compile with PyInstaller**
+
+PyInstaller can build/freeze/compile the utility at all three supported platforms, it is simple to run and gets updated often.
+
+1. Make sure Python 3.10.0 or newer is installed:
+
+> python --version
+
+2. Use pip to install PyInstaller:
+
+> pip3 install pyinstaller
+
+3. Place prerequisites at the "external" project directory:
+
+> UEFIFind\
+> UEFIExtract
+
+4. Build/Freeze/Compile:
+
+> pyinstaller --add-data="external/*;external/" --noupx --onefile \<path-to-project\>\/Apple_EFI_Identify.py
+
+You should find the final utility executable at "dist" folder
+
+#### **Anti-Virus False Positives**
+
+Some Anti-Virus software may claim that the built/frozen/compiled executable contains viruses. Any such detections are false positives, usually of PyInstaller. You can switch to a better Anti-Virus software, report the false positive to their support, add the executable to the exclusions, build/freeze/compile yourself or use the Python script directly.
