Detailed Description

A file system object.

Provides file system operations and file operations for the File and Dir classes on a block device.

Implementations must provide at minimum file operations and mount operations for block devices.

Note
Synchronization level: Set by subclass

Definition at line 49 of file FileSystem.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FileSystem ( const char *  name = NULL)

File system lifetime.

Parameters
nameName to add file system to tree as.

Member Function Documentation

static FileSystem* get_default_instance ( )
static

Return the default file system.

Returns the default file system based on the default block device configuration. Use the components in target.json or application config to change the default block device and affect the default filesystem. SD block device => FAT filesystem QSPIF, SPIF, DATAFLASH or FLAHIAP block device => LITTLE filesystem

An application can override all target settings by implementing FileSystem::get_default_instance() - the default definition is weak, and calls get_target_default_instance().

virtual int mkdir ( const char *  path,
mode_t  mode 
)
virtual

Create a directory in the file system.

Parameters
pathThe name of the directory to create.
modeThe permissions with which to create the directory.
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Reimplemented from FileSystemHandle.

Reimplemented in LittleFileSystem, and FATFileSystem.

virtual int mount ( BlockDevice bd)
pure virtual

Mount a file system to a block device.

Parameters
bdBlock device to mount to.
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Implemented in LittleFileSystem, and FATFileSystem.

FileHandle* open ( const char *  path,
int  flags 
)
inherited

Open a file on the filesystem.

Parameters
pathThe name of the file to open
flagsThe flags to open the file in, one of O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR, bitwise or'd with one of O_CREAT, O_TRUNC, O_APPEND
Returns
A file handle on success, NULL on failure
Deprecated:
Replaced by int open(FileHandle **, ...) for propagating error codes

Definition at line 64 of file FileSystemLike.h.

virtual int open ( FileHandle **  file,
const char *  path,
int  flags 
)
protectedvirtual

defined(DOXYGEN_ONLY)

Implements FileSystemHandle.

virtual int open ( DirHandle **  dir,
const char *  path 
)
protectedvirtual

Open a directory on the filesystem.

Parameters
dirDestination for the handle to the directory
pathName of the directory to open
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileSystemHandle.

DirHandle* opendir ( const char *  path)
inherited

Open a directory on the filesystem.

Parameters
pathName of the directory to open
Returns
A directory handle on success, NULL on failure
Deprecated:
Replaced by int open(DirHandle **, ...) for propagating error codes

Definition at line 79 of file FileSystemLike.h.

virtual int reformat ( BlockDevice bd = NULL)
virtual

Reformat a file system.

Results in an empty and mounted file system.

Parameters
bdBlock device to reformat and mount. If NULL, the mounted Block device is used. Note: If mount fails, bd must be provided. Default: NULL
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Reimplemented in LittleFileSystem, and FATFileSystem.

virtual int remove ( const char *  path)
virtual

Remove a file from the file system.

Parameters
pathThe name of the file to remove.
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Reimplemented from FileSystemHandle.

Reimplemented in LittleFileSystem, and FATFileSystem.

virtual int rename ( const char *  path,
const char *  newpath 
)
virtual

Rename a file in the file system.

Parameters
pathThe existing name of the file to rename.
newpathThe new name of the file.
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Reimplemented from FileSystemHandle.

Reimplemented in LittleFileSystem, and FATFileSystem.

virtual int stat ( const char *  path,
struct stat st 
)
virtual

Store information about the file in a stat structure.

Parameters
pathThe name of the file to find information about.
stThe stat buffer to write to.
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Reimplemented from FileSystemHandle.

Reimplemented in LittleFileSystem, and FATFileSystem.

virtual int statvfs ( const char *  path,
struct statvfs buf 
)
virtual

Store information about the mounted file system in a statvfs structure.

Parameters
pathThe name of the file to find information about.
bufThe stat buffer to write to.
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Reimplemented from FileSystemHandle.

Reimplemented in LittleFileSystem, and FATFileSystem.

virtual int unmount ( )
pure virtual

Unmount a file system from the underlying block device.

Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Implemented in LittleFileSystem, and FATFileSystem.
