Rust FAT FS

A FAT filesystem library implemented in Rust.

Features:

• read/write file using standard Read/Write traits
• read directory contents
• create/remove file or directory
• rename/move file or directory
• read/write file timestamps (updated automatically if chrono feature is enabled)
• format volume
• FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 compatibility
• LFN (Long File Names) extension is supported
• Basic no_std environment support
• logging configurable at compile time using cargo features

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
fatfs = "0.4"

You can start using the fatfs library now:

let img_file = File::open("fat.img")?;
let fs = fatfs::FileSystem::new(img_file, fatfs::FsOptions::new())?;
let root_dir = fs.root_dir();
let mut file = root_dir.create_file("hello.txt")?;
file.write_all(b"Hello World!")?;

Note: it is recommended to wrap the underlying file struct in a buffering/caching object like BufStream from fscommon crate. For example:

let buf_stream = BufStream::new(img_file);
let fs = fatfs::FileSystem::new(buf_stream, fatfs::FsOptions::new())?;

See more examples in the examples subdirectory.

no_std usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
fatfs = { version = "0.4", default-features = false }

Additional features:

• lfn - LFN (long file name) support
• alloc - use alloc crate for dynamic allocation. Needed for API which uses String type. You may have to provide a memory allocator implementation.
• unicode - use Unicode-compatible case conversion in file names - you may want to have it disabled for lower memory footprint
• log_level_* - enable specific logging levels at compile time. The options are as follows:
  • log_level_error - enable only error-level logging.
  • log_level_warn - enable warn-level logging and higher.
  • log_level_info - enable info-level logging and higher.
  • log_level_debug - enable debug-level logging and higher.
  • log_level_trace - (default) enable all logging levels, trace and higher.

Note: above features are enabled by default and were designed primarily for no_std usage.
