55<h4>Description</h4>\r
56<p>File read/write ponter in the open file object points the data byte to be read/written at next read/write operation. It advances as the number of bytes read/written. The <tt>f_lseek</tt> function moves the file read/write pointer without any read/write operation to the file. The <tt>f_rewind</tt> function is impremented as a macro.</p>\r
57<pre>\r
58#define <em>f_rewind</em>(fp) f_lseek((fp), 0)\r
59</pre>\r
60<p>If an offset beyond the file size is specified in write mode, the file size is expanded to the specified offset. The file data in the expanded part is <em>undefined</em>, because no data is written to the file in this process. This is suitable to pre-allocate a data area to the file 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 pointing expected offset, either of followings has been occured.</p>\r
61<ul>\r
62<li>End of file. The specified <tt class="arg">ofs</tt> was clipped at end of the file in read-only mode.</li>\r
63<li>Disk full. There is no free space on the volume to expand the file.</li>\r
64</ul>\r
65<p>The fast seek feature 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 at fast seek mode.</p>\r
66<p>The fast seek mode is available when <tt>FF_USE_FASTSEEK = 1</tt>. The CLMT must be created into the <tt>DWORD</tt> array prior to use the fast seek mode. 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 <tt>cltbl[0]</tt> and then call <tt>f_lseek</tt> function with <tt class="arg">ofs</tt><tt> = CREATE_LINKMAP</tt>. After the function succeeded, 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 <tt>cltbl[0]</tt>. The number of items needed is (number of the file fragments + 1) * 2. For example, 12 items in the array will be used for the file fragmented in 5 portions. If the function failed with <tt>FR_NOT_ENOUGH_CORE</tt>, the size of given array is insufficient for the file.</p>\r
