<h3>Format of the path names</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>The format of path name on the FatFs module is similer to the filename specs of DOS/Windos as follows:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>"[<em>drive</em>:][/]<em>directory</em>/<em>file</em>"</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>The FatFs module supports long file name (LFN) and 8.3 format file name (SFN). The LFN can be used when LFN feature is enabled (<tt>_USE_LFN > 0</tt>). The sub directories are separated with a \ or / in the same way as DOS/Windows API. Duplicated separators are skipped and ignored. Only a difference is that the logical drive is specified in a numeral with a colon. When drive number is omitted, the drive number is assumed as <em>default drive</em> (drive 0 or current drive).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Control characters (<tt>'\0'</tt> to <tt>'\x1F'</tt>) are recognized as end of the path name. Leading/embedded spaces in the path name are valid as a part of the name at LFN configuration but they are recognized as end of the path name at non-LFN configuration. Trailing spaces and dots are ignored.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In default configuration (<tt>_FS_RPATH == 0</tt>), it does not have a concept of current directory like OS oriented file system. All objects on the volume are always specified in full path name that follows from the root directory. Dot directory names are not allowed. Heading separator is ignored and it can be exist or omitted. The default drive is fixed to drive 0.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When relative path feature is enabled (<tt>_FS_RPATH == 1</tt>), specified path is followed from the root directory if a heading separator is exist. If not, it is followed from the current directory of the drive set with <a href="chdir.html">f_chdir</a> function. Dot names are also allowed for the path name. The default drive is the current drive set with <a href="chdrive.html">f_chdrive</a> function.</p>

<h3>Unicode API</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>The path names are input/output in either ANSI/OEM code (SBCS/DBCS) or Unicode depends on the configuration options. The type of arguments which specify the file names are defined as <tt>TCHAR</tt>. It is an alias of <tt>char</tt> in default. The code set used to the file name string is ANSI/OEM specifid by <tt>_CODE_PAGE</tt>. When <tt>_LFN_UNICODE</tt> is set to 1, the type of the <tt>TCHAR</tt> is switched to <tt>WCHAR</tt> to support Unicode (UTF-16 encoding). In this case, the LFN feature is fully supported and the Unicode specific characters, such as ✝☪✡☸☭, can also be used for the path name. It also affects data types and encoding of the string I/O functions. To define literal strings, <tt>_T(s)</tt> and <tt>_TEXT(s)</tt> macro are available to select either ANSI/OEM or Unicode automatically. The code shown below is an example to define the literal strings.</p>

f_open(fp, "filename.txt", FA_READ); <span class="c">/* ANSI/OEM string */</span>

f_open(fp, L"filename.txt", FA_READ); <span class="c">/* Unicode string */</span>

f_open(fp, _T("filename.txt"), FA_READ); <span class="c">/* Changed by configuration */</span>

<h3>Volume Management</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>The FatFs module needs dynamic work area called <em>file system object</em> for each volume (logical drive). It is registered to the FatFs module by <tt>f_mount()</tt> function. By default, each logical drive is bound to the physical drive with the same drive number and an FAT volume on the drive is serched by auto detect feature. It loads boot sectors and checks it if it is an FAT boot sector in order of sector 0 as SFD format, 1st partition, 2nd partition, 3rd partition and 4th partition as FDISK format.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When <tt>_MULTI_PARTITION == 1</tt> is specified by configuration option, each individual logical drive is bound to the partition on the physical drive specified by volume management table. The volume management table must be defined by user to resolve relationship between logical drives and partitions. Following code is an example of a volume management table.</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
Example: Logical drive 0-2 are tied to three pri-partitions on the physical drive 0 (fixed disk)
|
||
|
|
Logical drive 3 is tied to an FAT volume on the physical drive 1 (removable disk)

<p>There are some considerations on using <tt>_MULTI_PARTITION</tt> configuration.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Only four primary partitions can be specified. Logical partition is not supported.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The physical drive that has two or more mounted partitions must be non-removable. Media change while a system operation is prohibited.</li>
