Provides services to load and relocate a PE/COFF image.
+ The PE/COFF Loader Library abstracts the implementation of a PE/COFF loader for
+ IA-32, x86, IPF, and EBC processor types. The library functions are memory based

+ Reads contents of a PE/COFF image.
+
+ A function of this type reads contents of the PE/COFF image specified by FileHandle. The read
+ operation copies ReadSize bytes from the PE/COFF image starting at byte offset FileOffset into
+ the buffer specified by Buffer. The size of the buffer actually read is returned in ReadSize.
+ If FileOffset specifies an offset past the end of the PE/COFF image, a ReadSize of 0 is returned.
+ A function of this type must be registered in the ImageRead field of a PE_COFF_LOADER_IMAGE_CONTEXT
+ structure for the PE/COFF Loader Library service to function correctly. This function abstracts access
+ to a PE/COFF image so it can be implemented in an environment specific manner. For example, SEC and PEI
+ environments may access memory directly to read the contents of a PE/COFF image, and DXE or UEFI
+ environments may require protocol services to read the contents of PE/COFF image
+ stored on FLASH, disk, or network devices.
+
+ If FileHandle is not a valid handle, then ASSERT().
+ If ReadSize is NULL, then ASSERT().
+ If Buffer is NULL, then ASSERT().
+
+ @param FileHandle Pointer to the file handle to read the PE/COFF image.
+ @param FileOffset Offset into the PE/COFF image to begin the read operation.
+ @param ReadSize On input, the size in bytes of the requested read operation.
+ On output, the number of bytes actually read.
+ @param Buffer Output buffer that contains the data read from the PE/COFF image.
+
+ @retval RETURN_SUCCESS The specified portion of the PE/COFF image was read and the size
+ @retval RETURN_DEVICE_ERROR The specified portion of the PE/COFF image could not be read due
+ to a device error.
