The file system is identified by a drive letter.
For example, if the SD card is associated with the letter `'S'`, a file can be reached like `"S:path/to/file.txt"`.

## Ready to use drivers
The [lv_fs_if](https://github.com/lvgl/lv_fs_if) repository contains ready to use drivers using POSIX, standard C and [FATFS](http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html) API.
See it's [README](https://github.com/lvgl/lv_fs_if#readme) for the details.

## Add a driver

To add a driver, `lv_fs_drv_t` needs to be initialized like this:
### Registering a driver
To add a driver, `lv_fs_drv_t` needs to be initialized like below. `lv_fs_drv_t` needs to be static, global or dynamically allocated and not a local varaible.
```c
lv_fs_drv_t drv;
static lv_fs_drv_t drv; /*Needs to be static or global*/
lv_fs_drv_init(&drv); /*Basic initialization*/

drv.letter = 'S'; /*An uppercase letter to identify the drive */
drv.file_size = sizeof(my_file_object); /*Size required to store a file object*/
drv.rddir_size = sizeof(my_dir_object); /*Size required to store a directory object (used by dir_open/close/read)*/
drv.ready_cb = my_ready_cb; /*Callback to tell if the drive is ready to use */
drv.open_cb = my_open_cb; /*Callback to open a file */
drv.close_cb = my_close_cb; /*Callback to close a file */
drv.read_cb = my_read_cb; /*Callback to read a file */
drv.write_cb = my_write_cb; /*Callback to write a file */
drv.seek_cb = my_seek_cb; /*Callback to seek in a file (Move cursor) */
drv.tell_cb = my_tell_cb; /*Callback to tell the cursor position */
drv.trunc_cb = my_trunc_cb; /*Callback to delete a file */
drv.size_cb = my_size_cb; /*Callback to tell a file's size */
drv.rename_cb = my_rename_cb; /*Callback to rename a file */


drv.dir_open_cb = my_dir_open_cb; /*Callback to open directory to read its content */
drv.dir_read_cb = my_dir_read_cb; /*Callback to read a directory's content */
drv.dir_close_cb = my_dir_close_cb; /*Callback to close a directory */

drv.free_space_cb = my_free_space_cb; /*Callback to tell free space on the drive */

Any of the callbacks can be `NULL` to indicate that operation is not supported.
As an example of how the callbacks are used, if you use `lv_fs_open(&file, "S:/folder/file.txt", LV_FS_MODE_WR)`, LVGL:
1. Verifies that a registered drive exists with the letter `'S'`.
2. Checks if it's `open_cb` is implemented (not `NULL`).
3. Calls the set `open_cb` with `"folder/file.txt"` path.
### Implementing the callbacks
#### Open callback
The prototype of `open_cb` looks like this:
```c
void * (*open_cb)(lv_fs_drv_t * drv, const char * path, lv_fs_mode_t mode);
```

`path` is path after the driver letter (e.g. "S:path/to/file.txt" -> "path/to/file.txt"). `mode` can be `LV_FS_MODE_WR` or `LV_FS_MODE_RD` to open for write or read.

The return value is a pointer the *file object* the describes the opened file or `NULL` if there were any issues (e.g. the file wasn't found).
The returned file object will be passed to to other file system related callbacks. (see below)

### Other callbacks
The other callbacks are quite similar. For example `write_cb` looks like this:
```c
lv_fs_res_t (*write_cb)(lv_fs_drv_t * drv, void * file_p, const void * buf, uint32_t btw, uint32_t * bw);
```

As `file_p` LVGL passes the return value of `open_cb`, `buf` is the data to write, `btw` is the Bytes To Write, `bw` is the actually written bytes.

For a template to the callbacks see [lv_fs_template.c](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/examples/porting/lv_port_fs_template.c).
