Getting Started

For a comprehensive Getting Started guide, please refer to the Windows Demonstration.

FullFAT can be used in 4 stages:

1. Creation and device registration.

• • Call FF_CreateIOMAN() -- This can be thought of as an IO/Manager, or partition handle.
  • Register a device driver with FF_RegisterBlkDevice().

2. Device mounting.

• • Call FF_MountPartition() -- This attempts to mount a partition from the provided blockdevice driver.

3. File I/O and FS Transactions.

• • Use FF_Open() -- to Open files.
  • Use FF_Read() -- to Read files.
  • Use FF_Write() -- to Write files.
  • Use FF_Close() -- to close files.
  • See API -- for information on other File I/O api's, and directory management.

4. Dis-mounting, and cleanup.

• • Use FF_UnmountPartition() -- to unmount partition cleanly.
  • USe FF_DestroyIOMAN() -- To free-up the IO/Manager resources.

It really is that simple.
