1,短目录和长目录：
短目录和长目录都是放在Data region里的，一个directory entry占用32byte，具体参考下表：
Short directory entry
|
Name |
Offset (byte) |
Size (bytes) |
Description |
|
DIR_Name |
0 |
11 |
Short name. |
|
DIR_Attr |
11 |
1 |
File attributes: ATTR_READ_ONLY 0x01 ATTR_HIDDEN 0x02 ATTR_SYSTEM 0x04 ATTR_VOLUME_ID 0x08 ATTR_DIRECTORY 0x10 ATTR_ARCHIVE 0x20 ATTR_LONG_NAME ATTR_READ_ONLY | ATTR_HIDDEN | ATTR_SYSTEM | ATTR_VOLUME_ID The upper two bits of the attribute byte are reserved and should always be set to 0 when a file is created and never modified or looked at after that. |
| DIR_NTRes | 12 | 1 | Reserved for use by Windows NT. |
| DIR_CrtTimeTenth | 13 | 1 | Millisecond stamp at file creation time. |
| DIR_CrtTime | 14 | 2 | Time file was created. |
| DIR_CrtDate | 16 | 2 | Date file was created. |
| DIR_LstAccDate | 18 | 2 | Last access date. |
| DIR_FstClusHI | 20 | 2 | High word of this entry’s first cluster number (always 0 for a FAT12 or FAT16 volume). |
| DIR_WrtTime | 22 | 2 | Time of last write. |
| DIR_WrtDate | 24 | 2 | Date of last write. |
| DIR_FstClusLO | 26 | 2 | Low word of this entry’s first cluster number. |
| DIR_FileSize | 28 | 4 |
32-bit DWORD holding this file’s size in bytes. 所以FAT32支持文件的最大大小为4G |
DIR_Name不能包含以下字符：
1， 任何小于0X20值的字符，除了0x05（0X05代表的含义是该目录entry可以被重新使用，删除一个文件的时候用0x05来覆盖DIR_Name[0,如果DIR_Name[0]的值为0，表示该entry可以被使用~之前没有被使用过）
2，0x22, 0x2A, 0x2B, 0x2C, 0x2E, 0x2F, 0x3A, 0x3B, 0x3C, 0x3D, 0x3E, 0x3F, 0x5B, 0x5C, 0x5D, and 0x7C.
Shaort name举例如下：
“foo.bar” -> “FOO BAR”
“FOO.BAR” -> “FOO BAR”
“Foo.Bar” -> “FOO BAR”
“foo” -> “FOO “
“foo.” -> “FOO “
“PICKLE.A” -> “PICKLE A “
“prettybg.big” -> “PRETTYBGBIG”
“.big” -> illegal, DIR_Name[0] cannot be 0x20

Description |
|
LDIR_Ord |
0 |
1 |
The order of this entry in the sequence of long dir entries associated with the short dir entry at the end of the long dir set. If masked with 0x40 (LAST_LONG_ENTRY), this indicates the entry is the last long dir entry in a set of long dir entries. All valid sets of long dir entries must begin with an entry having this mask. |
|
LDIR_Name1 |
1 |
10 |
Characters 1-5 of the long-name sub-component in this dir entry. |
|
LDIR_Attr |
11 |
1 |
Attributes - must be ATTR_LONG_NAME |
|
LDIR_Type |
12 |
1 |
If zero, indicates a directory entry that is a sub-component of a long name. NOTE: Other values reserved for future extensions. Non-zero implies other dirent types. |
|
LDIR_Chksum |
13 |
1 |
Checksum of name in the short dir entry at the end of the long dir set. |
|
LDIR_Name2 |
14 |
12 |
Characters 6-11 of the long-name sub-component in this dir entry. |
|
LDIR_FstClusLO |
26 |
2 |
Must be ZERO. This is an artifact of the FAT "first cluster" and must be zero for compatibility with existing disk utilities. It‘s meaningless in the context of a long dir entry. |
|
LDIR_Name3 |
28 |
4 |
Characters 12-13 of the long-name sub-component in this dir entry. |
Example:
当一个文件名字是"The quick brown.fox". 以下的表格说明了它是如何存放在directory entry里的。
FAT32对文件名以及文件路径的限制：
1， 短目录名可以包含任何字母数字以及下面的字符：
$ % ‘ - _ @ ~ ` ! ( ) { } ^ # &
2， 长目录名不能包含如下字符
+ , ; = [ ]
3， 短目录名路径最大长度是8+3，端目录完整路径长度最大为80（包含最后的结束NUL字符）
4， 长目录完整路径最大为255（不包含最后的NUL字符）
5， 长目录entry是通过UNICODE来放具体名字的字符的，2个byte对应一个字符，区分大小写。
6， 短目录entry是不区分大小写的。
