Detailed Description

The File class allows for reading from and writing to individual files on the File System.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ File()

File::File ( const char *  name,
uint8_t  mode = FILE_READ 
)

Construct a new File object.

Parameters
[in]nameThe name of the file
[in]modeThe mode of the file

Member Function Documentation

◆ write() [1/2]

virtual size_t File::write ( uint8_t  data)
virtual

Write data to the file.

Parameters
[in]dataThe byte to write.
Returns
The number of bytes written.

◆ write() [2/2]

virtual size_t File::write ( const uint8_t *  buf,
size_t  size 
)
virtual

Write data to the file.

Parameters
[in]bufArray of bytes.
[in]sizeThe number of elements in buf.
Returns
The number of bytes written.

◆ read() [1/2]

virtual int File::read ( )
virtual

Read from the file.

Returns
The next byte, or -1 if none is available.

◆ peek()

virtual int File::peek ( )
virtual

Read a byte from the file without advancing to the next one.

Returns
The next byte, or -1 if none is available.

◆ available()

virtual int File::available ( )
virtual

Check if there are any bytes available for reading from the file.

Returns
the number of bytes available

◆ flush()

virtual void File::flush ( )
virtual

Ensures that any bytes written to the file are physically saved to the File System.

This is done automatically when the file is closed.

◆ read() [2/2]

int File::read ( void *  buf,
size_t  nbyte 
)

Read from the file.

Parameters
[out]bufArray of bytes.
[in]nbyteThe number of elements in buf.
Returns
The total number of bytes successfully read, or -1 if none is available

◆ seek()

boolean File::seek ( uint32_t  pos)

Seek to a new position in the file.

Parameters
[in]posThe position to which to seek.
Returns
true for success, false for failure

◆ position()

uint32_t File::position ( )

Get the current position within the file.

Returns
the position within the file

◆ size()

uint32_t File::size ( )

Get the size of the file.

Returns
the size of the file in bytes

◆ close()

void File::close ( )

Close the file.

Ensure that any data written to it is physically saved to the File System.

◆ name()

char * File::name ( )

Returns the file name.

Returns
the file name

◆ isDirectory()

boolean File::isDirectory ( void  )

Check if the current file is a directory or not.

Returns
true if is a directory, false if not

◆ openNextFile()

File File::openNextFile ( uint8_t  mode = O_RDONLY)

Reports the next file or folder in a directory.

Parameters
[in]modeThe mode in which to open the next file.
Returns
The next file or folder in the path
