The API is as per posix standard, but does not provide stats for file/directory.
Stats buffer (block size, total block count, free block count) is filled for
entire mounted filesystem.
This function provides a shortcut to reformatting a mounted filesystem.
Also, since this function is a virtual member of the FileSystem class,
the user does not need to know the underlying filesystem to reformat
the underlying storage.
At some point the "mount" parameter for "f_mount" was name "force". This
led to a bit of confusion that ended with the default mount function
never calling block device init.
This is fine, since the block device can be manually initialized, but
a better user experience is where the filesystem initializes the block
device for the user.
This is backwards compatible due to the repeatability of the block
device init functions.
- Fixing code formatting errors with astyle tool.
- Replaced use of TOOLCHAIN_xxx macros with compiler emitted macros.
- Added const to BlockDevice::get_xxx_size() member functions.
- Added documentation for FAT filesystem thread support.
- Added documentation for fat_filesystem_set_errno().
- Added documentation clarifying the reasons for errno/stat symbol definitions in retarget.h.
- Removed FAT filesystem from mbed 2 testing.
- Fixed FATMisc.h Copyright (c) 2016 year to 2017 as its a new file.
- Removed #ifndef NDEBUG from HeapBlockDevice.cpp.
- Removed unnecessary todo comment in retarget.cpp.
- renaming FATFileSystemSetErrno() fat_file_system_set_errno.
- changing FATFileSystem::format() to be mount fs internally in function, rather than expecting fs to be mounted.
- requested const char *filename change.
