<h1>Path Names on the FatFs</h1>

<h3>Format of the path names</h3>
<h3>Format of the Path Names</h3>
<p>The format of path name on the FatFs module is similer to the filename specs of DOS/Windos as follows:</p>
<pre>[<em>drive#</em>:][/]<em>directory</em>/<em>file</em></pre>
<p>The FatFs module supports long file name (LFN) and 8.3 format file name (SFN). The LFN can be used when <tt><a href="config.html#use_lfn">FF_USE_LFN</a> != 0</tt>. The sub directories are separated with a <tt>\</tt> or <tt>/</tt> in the same way as DOS/Windows API. Duplicated separators are skipped and ignored. Only a difference is that the logical drive is specified in a numeral with a colon. When drive prefix is omitted, the drive number is assumed as <em>default drive</em> (drive 0 or current drive).</p>
<p>Control characters (<tt>\0</tt> to <tt>\x1F</tt>) are recognized as end of the path name. Leading/embedded spaces in the path name are valid as a part of the name at LFN configuration but the space is recognized as end of the path name at non-LFN configuration. Trailing spaces and dots are ignored at both configurations.</p>
<p>The FatFs module supports long file name (LFN) and 8.3 format file name (SFN). The LFN can be used when <tt><a href="config.html#use_lfn">FF_USE_LFN</a> &gt;= 1</tt>. The sub directories are separated with a <tt>\</tt> or <tt>/</tt> in the same way as DOS/Windows API. Duplicated separators are skipped and ignored. Only a difference is that the heading drive prefix to specify logical drive is in a numeral + colon. When drive prefix is omitted, the drive number is assumed as <em>default drive</em> (drive 0 or current drive).</p>
<p>Control characters (<tt>\0</tt> to <tt>\x1F</tt>) are recognized as end of the path name. Leading/embedded white spaces in the path name are valid as a part of the name at LFN configuration but the white space is recognized as end of the path name at non-LFN configuration. Trailing white spaces and dots are ignored at both configurations.</p>
<p>In default configuration (<tt><a href="config.html#fs_rpath">FF_FS_RPATH</a> == 0</tt>), it does not have a concept of current directory like OS oriented filesystem. Every object on the volume is always specified in full path name that followed from the root directory. Dot directory names (<tt>".", ".."</tt>) are not allowed. Heading separator is ignored and it can be exist or omitted. The default drive is fixed to drive 0.</p>
<p>When relative path is enabled (<tt>FF_FS_RPATH &gt;= 1</tt>), specified path is followed from the root directory if a heading separator is exist. If not, it is followed from the current directory of the drive set by <a href="chdir.html"><tt>f_chdir</tt></a> function. Dot names are also allowed for the path names. The default drive is the current drive set by <a href="chdrive.html"><tt>f_chdrive</tt></a> function.</p>

<p>When option <tt><a href="config.html#str_volume_id">FF_STR_VOLUME_ID</a></tt> is specified, also pre-defined arbitrary keyword instead of a numeral can be used as drive prefix. e.g. <tt>"sdcard:file1.txt"</tt>, <tt>"ram:swapfile.dat"</tt> and DOS/Windows style drive letter, of course.</p>
<p>Also the drive prefix can be in pre-defined arbitrary string. When the option <tt><a href="config.html#str_volume_id">FF_STR_VOLUME_ID</a> == 1</tt>, also arbitrary string volume ID can be used as drive prefix. e.g. <tt>"flash:file1.txt"</tt>, <tt>"ram:temp.dat"</tt> or <tt>"usb:"</tt>. When <tt>FF_STR_VOLUME_ID == 2</tt>, Unix style drive prefix can be used. e.g. <tt>"/flash/file1.txt"</tt>, <tt>"/ram/temp.dat"</tt> or <tt>"/usb"</tt>. However, it cannot traverse the drives such as <tt>"/flash/../ram/temp.dat"</tt>. The Unix style drive prefix may lead a confusion in identification between volume ID and file name. For instance, which does <tt>"/flash"</tt> mean, a file <tt>"flash"</tt> on the root directory without drive prefix or a drive prefix of <tt>"flash"</tt>? If the string following a heading slash matches with any volume ID, it is treated as a drive prefix and skipped over.</p>
<p><em>Remark: In this revision, double dot name <tt>".."</tt> cannot follow the parent directory on the exFAT volume. It will work as <tt>"."</tt> and stay there.</em></p>

<h3>Legal Characters and Case Sensitivity</h3>
<p>On the FAT filesystem, legal characters for object name (file/directory name) are, <tt>0-9 A-Z ! # $ % &amp; ' ( ) - @ ^ _ ` { } ~</tt> and extended characters (<tt>\x80</tt>-<tt>\xFF</tt>). Under LFN supported system, also <tt>+ , ; = [ ]</tt> and space are legal for the object name and the white spaces and dots can be placed anywhere in the path name except for end of the object name.</p>
<p>FAT filesystem is case-insensitive to the object names on the volume. All object names on the FAT volume are compared in case-insensitive. For example, these three names, <tt>file.txt</tt>, <tt>File.Txt</tt> and <tt>FILE.TXT</tt>, are identical. This is applied to also extended charactres. When an object is created on the FAT volume, upper converted name is recorded to the SFN entry, and the raw name is recorded to the LFN entry.</p>
<p>As for the DBCS language MS-DOS, it was case-sensitive to the extended characters. To follow this specification, FatFs works with case-sensitive to the extended characters at only non-LFN with DBCS configuration (DOS/DBCS specs). But at LFN configuration, FatFs works with case-insensitive to all characters (WindowsNT specs). This can cause a problem on compatibility with Windows system when an object with extended characters is created on the volume at non-LFN and DBCS configuration; therfore the object names with DBCS extended characters should not be used on the FAT volume shared by those systems.</p>

<h3>Volume Management</h3>
<p>FatFs module needs dynamic work area, <em>filesystem object</em>, for each volume (logical drive). It is registered/unregistered to the FatFs module by <tt>f_mount</tt> function. By default, each logical drive is bound to the physical drive with the same drive number and an FAT volume on the drive is serched by the volume mount process. It reads boot sectors and checks it if it is an FAT boot sector in order of sector 0 as SFD format, 1st partition, 2nd partition, 3rd partition and 4th partition as FDISK format.</p>

<p>When <tt><a href="config.html#multi_partition">FF_MULTI_PARTITION = 1</a></tt> is specified by configuration option, each individual logical drive is bound to the partition on the physical drive specified by volume management table. The volume management table needs to be defined by user to resolve the mappings of logical drives and partitions. Following code is an example of a volume management table.</p>
<pre>
Example: "0:", "1:" and "2:" are tied to three pri-partitions on the physical drive 0 (fixed drive)
