File System API

Detailed Description

The FNET File System (FS) API provides standard interface for file and directory manipulations.
The FNET File System API is inspired by standard ANSI C and POSIX-based APIs.
The following table summarizes the supported File System API functions:

File System API

Functions	Description
fnet_fs_init(), fnet_fs_release()	FNET file system interface initialization/release.
fnet_fs_mount(), fnet_fs_unmount()	Mount/unmount a file system image.
fnet_fs_fopen(), fnet_fs_fopen_re(), fnet_fs_fclose()	Open/close a file.
fnet_fs_fread(), fnet_fs_fgetc()	Read a file.
fnet_fs_rewind(), fnet_fs_fseek(), fnet_fs_feof(), fnet_fs_ftell()	Move/get a file pointer.
fnet_fs_opendir(), fnet_fs_closedir()	Open/close a directory.
fnet_fs_readdir(), fnet_fs_rewinddir()	Read a directory.

The path name that points to a file or directory has the following format:

/[mount name][/directory name]..[/file name] 

After the FS is initialized by calling the fnet_fs_init() function, a user application should call a FS registration function (for example the fnet_fs_rom_register() for the FNET ROM FS registration), and finally mount a FS image by the fnet_fs_mount() function. Thereafter an application has access to files and directories on the mounted FS image.

For example:

...

// FNET FS initialization.

if( fnet_fs_init( ) == FNET_OK)

{

// Register ROM FS.

fnet_fs_rom_register( );

// Mount ROM FS image.

if( fnet_fs_mount( FNET_FS_ROM_NAME, "rom", (void *)&fnet_fs_image ) == FNET_ERR )

fnet_println("ERROR: FS image mount is failed!");

...

// Print directory content.

{

struct fnet_fs_dirent ep;

fnet_fs_dir_t dir;

fnet_uint8_t name[FNET_CFG_FS_MOUNT_NAME_MAX+1];

// Open dir.

dir = fnet_fs_opendir("\rom");

if (dir)

{

fnet_memset(&ep, 0, sizeof(struct fnet_fs_dirent) );

ep.d_name = name;

ep.d_name_size = sizeof(name);

// Print the dir content.

while ((fnet_fs_readdir (dir, &ep))==FNET_OK)

fnet_println ("%7s - %s", (ep.d_type == DT_DIR)?"<DIR>":"<FILE>",ep.d_name);

// Close dir.

fnet_fs_closedir(dir);

}

else

fnet_println("ERROR: The directory is failed!");

}

...

}

else

{

fnet_println("ERROR: FNET FS initialization is failed!");

}

...

Configuration parameters:

• FNET_CFG_FS
• FNET_CFG_FS_MOUNT_MAX
• FNET_CFG_FS_MOUNT_NAME_MAX
• FNET_CFG_FS_DESC_MAX

Data Structures
struct	fnet_fs_dirent
	This structure is used by the fnet_fs_finfo() and the fnet_fs_readdir() function to get information about directory entries (files or directories). More...

Macros
#define	FNET_FS_SPLITTER
	File-path splitter. This symbol is used to delimit directories and files in a pathname string. More...
#define	FNET_FS_EOF
	End-of-file condition. This is a condition, where no data can be read from a data source. More...

Typedefs
typedef void *	fnet_fs_dir_t
	Directory descriptor. This is the abstract key for accessing a directory. More...
typedef void *	fnet_fs_file_t
	File descriptor. This is the abstract key for accessing a file. More...
