fcb_append¶
int fcb_append(struct fcb *fcb, uint16_t len, struct fcb_entry *append_loc);
Start writing a new element to flash. This routine reserves the space in the flash by writing out the element header.
When writing the contents for the entry, use append_loc->fl_area and append_loc->fl_data_off as arguments to flash_area_write(). When finished, call fcb_append_finish() with append_loc as argument.
Arguments¶
Arguments |
Description |
|---|---|
fcb |
Points to FCB where data is written to. |
len |
Number of bytes to reserve for the element. |
loc |
Pointer to fcb_entry. fcb_append() will fill this with info about where the element can be written to. |
Returned values¶
Returns 0 on success; nonzero on failure. FCB_ERR_NOSPACE is returned if FCB is full.
Notes¶
If FCB is full, you need to make more space. This can be done by calling fcb_rotate(). Or if you’ve reserved scratch sectors, you can take those into use by calling fcb_append_to_scratch().
