Get a string from a file.

fgets() reads bytes from a file into the array pointed to by str, until num - 1 bytes are read, or a delimiter is read and transferred to str, or end-of-file is encountered. The string is then terminated with a null byte.

fgets() deletes CR, '\r', from the string. This insures only a '\n' terminates the string for Windows text files which use CRLF for newline.

Parameters

Returns
  The file or directory type.

The directory file will be removed only if it is empty and is not the root directory. rmdir() follows DOS and Windows and ignores the read-only attribute for the directory.

Note
  This function should not be used to delete the 8.3 version of a directory that has a long name. For example if a directory has the long name "New folder" you should not delete the 8.3 name "NEWFOL~1".

Returns
  The value true is returned for success and the value false is returned for failure.

bool FatFile::rmRfStar | ( |  | ) |
| inherited

Recursively delete a directory and all contained files.

This is like the Unix/Linux 'rm -rf *' if called with the root directory hence the name.

Warning - This will remove all contents of the directory including subdirectories. The directory will then be removed if it is not root. The read-only attribute for files will be ignored.

Note
  This function should not be used to delete the 8.3 version of a directory that has a long name. See remove() and rmdir().

Returns
  The value true is returned for success and the value false is returned for failure.

bool FatFile::seekCur | ( | int32_t | offset | ) |
| inline inherited

Set the files position to current position + pos. See seekSet().

Parameters

  [in] | offset | The new position in bytes from the current position.

Returns
  true for success or false for failure.

bool FatFile::seekEnd | ( | int32_t | offset = `0` | ) |
| inline inherited

Set the files position to end-of-file + offset. See seekSet(). Can't be used for directory files since file size is not defined.

Parameters

  [in] | offset | The new position in bytes from end-of-file.

Returns
  true for success or false for failure.

bool FatFile::seekSet | ( | uint32_t | pos | ) |
| inherited

Sets a file's position.

Parameters

  [in] | pos | The new position in bytes from the beginning of the file.

Returns
  The value true is returned for success and the value false is returned for failure.

static bool FatFile::setCwd | ( | FatFile * | dir | ) |
| inline static inherited

Set the current working directory.

Parameters

  [in] | dir | New current working directory.

Returns
  true for success else false.

void FatFile::setpos | ( | FatPos_t * | pos | ) |
| inherited

set position for streams

Parameters

  [out] | pos | struct with value for new position

bool FatFile::sync | ( |  | ) |
| inherited

The sync() call causes all modified data and directory fields to be written to the storage device.

Returns
  The value true is returned for success and the value false is returned for failure.

bool FatFile::timestamp | ( | FatFile * | file | ) |
| inherited

Copy a file's timestamps

Parameters

  [in] | file | File to copy timestamps from.

Note
  Modify and access timestamps may be overwritten if a date time callback function has been set by dateTimeCallback().

Returns
  The value true is returned for success and the value false is returned for failure.

bool FatFile::timestamp | ( | uint8_t | flags,
|  | uint16_t | year,
|  | uint8_t | month,
|  | uint8_t | day,
|  | uint8_t | hour,
|  | uint8_t | minute,
|  | uint8_t | second
| ) |  |
| inherited

Set a file's timestamps in its directory entry.

Parameters

  [in] | flags | Values for flags are constructed by a bitwise-inclusive OR of flags from the following list

T_ACCESS - Set the file's last access date.

T_CREATE - Set the file's creation date and time.

T_WRITE - Set the file's last write/modification date and time.

Parameters

  [in] | year | Valid range 1980 - 2107 inclusive.
  [in] | month | Valid range 1 - 12 inclusive.
  [in] | day | Valid range 1 - 31 inclusive.
  [in] | hour | Valid range 0 - 23 inclusive.
  [in] | minute | Valid range 0 - 59 inclusive.
  [in] | second | Valid range 0 - 59 inclusive

Note
  It is possible to set an invalid date since there is no check for the number of days in a month.
  Modify and access timestamps may be overwritten if a date time callback function has been set by dateTimeCallback().

Returns
  The value true is returned for success and the value false is returned for failure.

bool FatFile::truncate | ( | uint32_t | length | ) |
| inherited

Truncate a file to a specified length. The current file position will be maintained if it is less than or equal to length otherwise it will be set to end of file.

Parameters

  [in] | length | The desired length for the file.

Returns
  The value true is returned for success and the value false is returned for failure.

FatVolume* FatFile::volume | ( |  | ) | const
| inline inherited

Returns
  FatVolume that contains this file.

size_t PrintFile::write | ( | uint8_t | b | ) |
| inline inherited

Read the next byte from a file.

Returns
  For success return the next byte in the file as an int. If an error occurs or end of file is reached return -1. Write a byte to a file. Required by the Arduino Print class.

Parameters

  [in] | b | the byte to be written. Use getWriteError to check for errors.

Returns
  1 for success and 0 for failure.

size_t PrintFile::write | ( | const uint8_t * | buf,
|  | size_t | size
| ) |  |
| inline inherited

Write data to an open file. Form required by Print.

Note
  Data is moved to the cache but may not be written to the storage device until sync() is called.

Parameters

  [in] | buf | Pointer to the location of the data to be written.
  [in] | size | Number of bytes to write.

Returns
  For success write() returns the number of bytes written, always nbyte. If an error occurs, write() returns -1. Possible errors include write() is called before a file has been opened, write is called for a read-only file, device is full, a corrupt file system or an I/O error.

int FatFile::write | ( | const char * | str | ) |
| inline inherited

Write a string to a file. Used by the Arduino Print class.

Parameters

  [in] | str | Pointer to the string. Use getWriteError to check for errors.

Returns
  count of characters written for success or -1 for failure.

int FatFile::write | ( | const void * | buf,
|  | size_t | nbyte
| ) |  |
| inherited

Write data to an open file.

Note
  Data is moved to the cache but may not be written to the storage device until sync() is called.

Parameters

  [in] | buf | Pointer to the location of the data to be written.
  [in] | nbyte | Number of bytes to write.

Returns
  For success write() returns the number of bytes written, always nbyte. If an error occurs, write() returns -1. Possible errors include write() is called before a file has been opened, write is called for a read-only file, device is full, a corrupt file system or an I/O error.
