- Changed heading character of configuration keywords "_" to "FF_". - Removed ASCII-only configuration, FF_CODE_PAGE = 1. Use FF_CODE_PAGE = 437 instead. - Added f_setcp(), run-time code page configuration. (FF_CODE_PAGE = 0) - Improved cluster allocation time on stretch a deep buried cluster chain. - Improved processing time of f_mkdir() with large cluster size by using FF_USE_LFN = 3. - Improved NoFatChain flag of the fragmented file to be set after it is truncated and got contiguous. - Fixed archive attribute is left not set when a file on the exFAT volume is renamed. (appeared at R0.12) - Fixed exFAT FAT entry can be collapsed when write or lseek operation to the existing file is done. (appeared at R0.12c) - Fixed creating a file can fail when a new cluster allocation to the exFAT directory occures. (appeared at R0.12c)

<h4>Description</h4>
|
|
<p>The <tt>f_expand</tt> function prepares or allocates a contiguous data area to the file. When <tt class="arg">opt</tt> is 1, the function allocates a contiguous data area to the file. Unlike expansion of file by <tt>f_lseek</tt> function, the file must be truncated prior to use this function and read/write pointer of the file stays at top of the file after the function. The file content allocated with this function is <em>undefined</em> because no data is written to the file in this process. The function can fail with <tt>FR_DENIED</tt> due to some reasons below.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>No free contiguous space was found.</li>
|
|
<li>Size of the file was not zero.</li>
|
|
<li>The file has been opened in read-only mode.</li>
|
|
<li>Not allowable file size. (>= 4GiB on FAT volume)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When <tt class="arg">opt</tt> is 0, the function finds a contiguous data area and set it as suggested point for next allocation instead of allocating it to the file. The next cluster allocation is started at top of the contiguous area found by this function. Thus the write file is guaranteed be contiguous and no allocation delay until the size reaches that size at least unless any other changes to the volume is performed.</p>
|
|
<p>The contiguous file would have an advantage at time-critical read/write operations. It eliminates some overheads in the filesystem and the storage media caused by random access due to fragmented file data. Especially FAT access for the contiguous file on the exFAT volume is completely eliminated and storage media will be accessed sequentially.</p>
|
|
<p>Also the contiguous file can be easily accessed directly via low-level disk functions. But this is not recommended in consideration for future compatibility.</p>
