50<h4>Description</h4>\r
70702af1 51<p>The <tt>f_lseek</tt> function moves the file read/write pointer of an open file. The offset can be specified in only origin from top of the file. When an offset beyond the file size is specified at write mode, the file size is expanded to the specified offset. The file data in the expanded area is <em>undefined</em> because no data is written to the file in this process. This is suitable to pre-allocate a cluster chain quickly, for fast write operation. When a contiguous data area needs to be allocated to the file, use <tt>f_expand</tt> function instead. After the <tt>f_lseek</tt> function succeeded, the current read/write pointer should be checked in order to make sure the read/write pointer has been moved correctry. In case of the read/write pointer is not the expected value, either of followings has been occured.</p>\r

53<li>End of file. The specified <tt class="arg">ofs</tt> was clipped at end of the file because the file has been opened in read-only mode.</li>\r

L		 56<p>The fast seek function enables fast backward/long seek operations without FAT access by using an on-memory CLMT (cluster link map table). It is applied to <tt>f_read</tt> and <tt>f_write</tt> function as well, however, the file size cannot be expanded by <tt>f_write</tt>, <tt>f_lseek</tt> function while the file is in fast seek mode.</p>\r
57<p>The fast seek function is enabled when the member <tt>cltbl</tt> in the file object is not NULL. The CLMT must be created into the <tt>DWORD</tt> array prior to use the fast seek function. To create the CLMT, set address of the <tt>DWORD</tt> array to the member <tt>cltbl</tt> in the open file object, set the size of array in unit of items to the first item and call the <tt>f_lseek</tt> function with <tt class="arg">ofs</tt><tt> = CREATE_LINKMAP</tt>. After the function succeeded and CLMT is created, no FAT access is occured in subsequent <tt>f_read</tt>, <tt>f_write</tt>, <tt>f_lseek</tt> function to the file. The number of items used or required is returned into the first item of the array. The number of items to be used is (number of the file fragments + 1) * 2. For example, when the file is fragmented in 5, 12 items in the array will be used. If the function failed with <tt>FR_NOT_ENOUGH_CORE</tt>, the given array size is insufficient for the file.</p>\r
