Claim 19:
20. A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
receiving a modified basic input-output system (BIOS) setting using an application programming interface (API), the modified BIOS setting including an attribute describing at least one Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) variable;
storing the modified BIOS setting in a future setting data structure in a baseboard management controller (BMC);
replacing at least a portion of a current setting data structure stored in the BIOS with the modified BIOS setting to provide a modified current setting data structure by:
receiving a string from the future setting data structure, the string being a value of the attribute,
decoding the string to a binary structure,
confirming the binary data structure is applicable into the BIOS as an EFI variable, and
replacing at least a portion of the current setting data structure with the string in the future setting data structure based on the binary data structure being applicable into the BIOS as an EFI variable; and

applying the modified current setting data structure to the computing system.
