Detailed Description

LittleFileSystem, a little file system.

Synchronization level: Thread safe

Definition at line 35 of file LittleFileSystem.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LittleFileSystem	(	const char *	name = `NULL`,
		mbed::BlockDevice *	bd = `NULL`,
		lfs_size_t	read_size = `MBED_LFS_READ_SIZE`,
		lfs_size_t	prog_size = `MBED_LFS_PROG_SIZE`,
		lfs_size_t	block_size = `MBED_LFS_BLOCK_SIZE`,
		lfs_size_t	lookahead = `MBED_LFS_LOOKAHEAD`
	)

Lifetime of the LittleFileSystem.

Parameters

name	Name of the file system in the tree.
bd	Block device to mount. Mounted immediately if not NULL.
read_size	Minimum size of a block read. This determines the size of read buffers. This may be larger than the physical read size to improve performance by caching more of the block device.
prog_size	Minimum size of a block program. This determines the size of program buffers. This may be larger than the physical program size to improve performance by caching more of the block device.
block_size	Size of an erasable block. This does not impact ram consumption and may be larger than the physical erase size. However, this should be kept small as each file currently takes up an entire block.
lookahead	Number of blocks to lookahead during block allocation. A larger lookahead reduces the number of passes required to allocate a block. The lookahead buffer requires only 1 bit per block so it can be quite large with little ram impact. Should be a multiple of 32.

static

Format a block device with the LittleFileSystem.

The block device to format should be mounted when this function is called.

Parameters

bd	This is the block device that will be formatted.
read_size	Minimum size of a block read. This determines the size of read buffers. This may be larger than the physical read size to improve performance by caching more of the block device.
prog_size	Minimum size of a block program. This determines the size of program buffers. This may be larger than the physical program size to improve performance by caching more of the block device.
block_size	Size of an erasable block. This does not impact ram consumption and may be larger than the physical erase size. However, this should be kept small as each file currently takes up an entire block.
lookahead	Number of blocks to lookahead during block allocation. A larger lookahead reduces the number of passes required to allocate a block. The lookahead buffer requires only 1 bit per block so it can be quite large with little ram impact. Should be a multiple of 32.

static FileSystem* get_default_instance ( )

staticinherited

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

path	The name of the directory to create.
mode	The permissions with which to create the directory.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileSystem.

virtual int mount ( mbed::BlockDevice * bd )

virtual

Mount a file system to a block device.

Parameters

bd	Block device to mount to.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Implements FileSystem.

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

inherited

Open a file on the filesystem.

Parameters

path	The name of the file to open
flags	The 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
	)

protectedvirtualinherited

defined(DOXYGEN_ONLY)

Implements FileSystemHandle.

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

protectedvirtualinherited

Open a directory on the filesystem.

Parameters

dir	Destination for the handle to the directory
path	Name 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

path	Name 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 ( mbed::BlockDevice * bd )

virtual

Reformat a file system.

Results in an empty and mounted file system.

Parameters

bd	Block 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 from FileSystem.

virtual int remove ( const char * path )

virtual

Remove a file from the file system.

Parameters

path	The name of the file to remove.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileSystem.

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

virtual

Rename a file in the file system.

Parameters

path	The name of the file to rename.
newpath	The name to rename it to.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileSystem.

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

virtual

Store information about the file in a stat structure.

Parameters

path	The name of the file to find information about.
st	The stat buffer to write to.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileSystem.

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

virtual

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

Parameters

path	The name of the file to find information about.
buf	The stat buffer to write to.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileSystem.

virtual int unmount ( )

virtual

Unmount a file system from the underlying block device.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure

Implements FileSystem.
