FATS Read/Write API
You are developer and you wish to store 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 store 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 RW) 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..

Fats RW) hosted in the file vfile.bin (file hosted in the native fat
windows) 2)Virtual directory in lambda virtual fat , lambda fat (eg Fats RW) 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 RW) , lambda fat (eg Fats RW) hosted in the file vfile.bin (file hosted in the native fat windows) 4)Virtual path in the lambda fat (Eg Fats RW) , lambda fat (eg Fats RW) hosted in the file vfile.bin (file hosted in the native fat windows)
