File Information

Description

This operation enables getting file information of an existing file. If the file does not exist on the serial flash, an error is generated.

API

_i16 sl_FsGetInfo (_u8 *pFileName,
                   _u32 Token,
                   SlFsFileInfo_t* pFsFileInfo);

Parameters

TypeParameterIn/OutDescription
_u8*pFileNameInPointer to the target file name. NULL terminated
_u32TokenInReserved for future use in secured file system. Should be 0
SlFsFileInfo_t*pFsFileInfoOutFile Information: flags, file size, allocated size and Tokens. Look on below structure.
typedef struct
{
    _u16 flags;
    _u32  FileLen;
    _u32  AllocatedLen;
    _u32  Token[4];
}SlFsFileInfo_t;
  • Flags are for future use
  • FileLen is the actual length of the file
  • AllocatedLen is the requested allocated length during file creation
  • Token is for future use

Return Value

On success, zero is returned. On error, an error code is returned.

Example

_u8             DeviceFileName[] = "MyFile.txt";
_u32            MaxSize = 63 * 1024;
_i32            DeviceFileHandle = -1;
_i32            RetVal;
_u32            Token;
SlFsFileInfo_t  FsFileInfo;
RetVal = sl_FsOpen(DeviceFileName,
                   FS_MODE_OPEN_CREATE(MaxSize , _FS_FILE_OPEN_FLAG_COMMIT ),
                   NULL, 
                   &DeviceFileHandle);
RetVal = sl_FsClose(DeviceFileHandle, 
                   NULL, 
                   NULL, 
                   NULL );
Token = 0;
RetVal  = sl_FsGetInfo(DeviceFileName, 
                   Token, 
                   &FsFileInfo);

Limitations

None

File system limitations

  • File size is allocated upon creation and cannot be extended later on
  • File appending is not embedded into the file system. Appending can be achieved by read-modify-write implementation in the host.
  • Upon opening a file for write access, entire file is erased
  • Creating a file with COMMIT flag results in file mirroring. It is used for fail-safe purposes only. The user cannot choose from which instance to load.
  • Maximal file size is 1MB.
  • Minimal allocated size on flash is 4KB, for example, the size of a block
  • Fragmentation is not applicable.
  • File system is not directory structured. Nevertheless, it is highly recommended to keep a directory prefix structure for better readability and maintenance. For example, all user files should begin with /usr/ prefix.
Note:

The ability of the web server to access the file system is limited to www/ prefix as a root folder.
