FATS RO API

You are developer and you wish to read private data-informations  on a pseudo-fat  rather than native, which is to hosted on a image file or elsewhere -> well it is here.
It is one of rare API existing in our world allowing those i.e. to read virtual file on a file image.
Profit in good to download these API because you will not find that elsewhere.
 

Explanation  :

It is not a question of native fat like (ext4, ntfs), but rather a virtual fat(Fats Reever) hosted in a image file and controllable by programming.
If it is a question of thus making visible in the explorer of Windows and all the applications, you must download API VDXS (VDFS), there is a sample provided..
 

1)Virtual file in lambda virtual fat (eg Fats Reever), lambda fat (eg Fats Reever) hosted in the file vfile.bin (file hosted in the native fat windows)

2)Virtual directory in lambda virtual fat , lambda fat (eg Fats Reever) hosted in the file vfile.bin (file hosted in the native fat windows)

3)Data hosted in the virtual file , virtual file in lambda fat (eg Fats Reever) , lambda fat (eg Fats Reever) hosted in the file vfile.bin (file hosted in the native fat windows)

4)Virtual path in the lambda fat (Eg Fats Reever) , lambda fat (eg Fats Reever) hosted in the file vfile.bin (file hosted in the native fat windows)
