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),
• FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 compatibility,
• LFN (Long File Names) extension is supported,
• Basic no_std environment support.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
fatfs = "0.3"

and this to your crate root:

extern crate fatfs;

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:

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

See more examples in the examples subdirectory.

no_std usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
fatfs = { version = "0.3", features = ["core_io"], default-features = false }

Note: LFN support requires alloc and core_io/collections features and makes use of alloc crate. You may have to provide a memory allocator implementation.

For building in no_std mode a nightly Rust compiler version compatible with the current core_io crate is required. See a date string in the core_io dependency version.
