FatFs - f_readdir

f_readdir

The f_readdir function reads directory entries.

FRESULT f_readdir (
  DIR* dp,      /* [IN] Directory object */
  FILINFO* fno  /* [OUT] File information structure */
);

Parameters

dp: Pointer to the directory object created by f_opendir function.
fno: Pointer to the file information structure to store the information about read item.

Return Values

FR_OK, FR_DISK_ERR, FR_INT_ERR, FR_INVALID_OBJECT, FR_TIMEOUT, FR_NOT_ENOUGH_CORE

Description

The f_readdir function reads directory items, informations about file and directory, in sequence. All items in the directory can be read by calling f_readdir function repeatedly. When relative path feature is enabled (_FS_RPATH >= 1), dot entries ("." and "..") are not filtered out and they will appear in the read items. When all directory items have been read and no item to read, a null string is stored into the fno->fname[] without any error. When a null pointer is given to the fno, the read index of the directory object is rewinded.

When LFN feature is enabled, fno->lfname and fno->lfsize in the file information structure must be initialized with valid value prior to use it. The lfname points the LFN read buffer. The lfsize is size of the LFN read buffer in unit of TCHAR. If the LFN is not needed, set a null pointer to the lfname and the LFN is not returned. A null string will be returned into the LFN read buffer in case of following conditions.

The directory item has no LFN information. In this case, lower case characters can be contained in the fname[].
Either the size of read buffer or LFN working buffer is insufficient for the LFN.
The LFN contains any Unicode character that cannot be converted to OEM code. (Not the case at Unicode API configuration)

QuickInfo

Available when _FS_MINIMIZE <= 1.

Sample Code

FRESULT scan_files (
    char* path        /* Start node to be scanned (also used as work area) */
)

    char *fn;   /* This function assumes non-Unicode configuration */
#if _USE_LFN
    static char lfn[_MAX_LFN + 1];   /* Buffer to store the LFN */
    fno.lfname = lfn;
    fno.lfsize = sizeof lfn;
#endif


    res = f_opendir(&dir, path);                       /* Open the directory */
