FATFS

The FATFS structure (file system object) holds dynamic work area of individual logical drives. It is given by application program and registerd/unregisterd to the FatFs module with f_mount() function. Initialization is done on first API call after f_mount() function or media change. Application program must not modify any member in this structure.
