NOTES ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE VFAT FILESYSTEM
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
(This documentation was provided by Galen C. Hunt <gchunt@cs.rochester.edu>
|
||||
and lightly annotated by Gordon Chaffee).
|
||||
|
||||
This document presents a very rough, technical overview of my
|
||||
knowledge of the extended FAT file system used in Windows NT 3.5 and
|
||||
Windows 95. I don't guarantee that any of the following is correct,
|
||||
but it appears to be so.
|
||||
|
||||
The extended FAT file system is almost identical to the FAT
|
||||
file system used in DOS versions up to and including 6.223410239847
|
||||
:-). The significant change has been the addition of long file names.
|
||||
Theses names support up to 255 characters including spaces and lower
|
||||
case characters as opposed to the traditional 8.3 short names.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the description of the traditional FAT entry in the current
|
||||
Windows 95 filesystem:
|
||||
|
||||
struct directory { // Short 8.3 names
|
||||
unsigned char name[8]; // file name
|
||||
unsigned char ext[3]; // file extension
|
||||
unsigned char attr; // attribute byte
|
||||
unsigned char lcase; // Case for base and extension
|
||||
unsigned char ctime_ms; // Creation time, milliseconds
|
||||
unsigned char ctime[2]; // Creation time
|
||||
unsigned char cdate[2]; // Creation date
|
||||
unsigned char adate[2]; // Last access date
|
||||
unsigned char reserved[2]; // reserved values (ignored)
|
||||
unsigned char time[2]; // time stamp
|
||||
unsigned char date[2]; // date stamp
|
||||
unsigned char start[2]; // starting cluster number
|
||||
unsigned char size[4]; // size of the file
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
The lcase field specifies if the base and/or the extension of an 8.3
|
||||
name should be capitalized. This field does not seem to be used by
|
||||
Windows 95 but it is used by Windows NT. The case of filenames is not
|
||||
completely compatible from Windows NT to Windows 95. It is not completely
|
||||
compatible in the reverse direction, however. Filenames that fit in
|
||||
the 8.3 namespace and are written on Windows NT to be lowercase will
|
||||
show up as uppercase on Windows 95.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the "start" and "size" values are actually little
|
||||
endian integer values. The descriptions of the fields in this
|
||||
structure are public knowledge and can be found elsewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
With the extended FAT system, Microsoft has inserted extra
|
||||
directory entries for any files with extended names. (Any name which
|
||||
legally fits within the old 8.3 encoding scheme does not have extra
|
||||
entries.) I call these extra entries slots. Basically, a slot is a
|
||||
specially formatted directory entry which holds up to 13 characters of
|
||||
a files extended name. Think of slots as additional labeling for the
|
||||
directory entry of the file to which they correspond. Microsoft
|
||||
prefers to refer to the 8.3 entry for a file as its alias and the
|
||||
extended slot directory entries as the file name.
|
||||
|
||||
The C structure for a slot directory entry follows:
|
||||
|
||||
struct slot { // Up to 13 characters of a long name
|
||||
unsigned char id; // sequence number for slot
|
||||
unsigned char name0_4[10]; // first 5 characters in name
|
||||
unsigned char attr; // attribute byte
|
||||
unsigned char reserved; // always 0
|
||||
unsigned char alias_checksum; // checksum for 8.3 alias
|
||||
unsigned char name5_10[12]; // 6 more characters in name
|
||||
unsigned char start[2]; // starting cluster number
|
||||
unsigned char name11_12[4]; // last 2 characters in name
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
If the layout of the slots looks a little odd, it's only
|
||||
because of Microsoft's efforts to maintain compatibility with old
|
||||
software. The slots must be disguised to prevent old software from
|
||||
panicing. To this end, a number of measures are taken:
|
||||
|
||||
1) The attribute byte for a slot directory entry is always set
|
||||
to 0x0f. This corresponds to an old directory entry with
|
||||
attributes of "hidden", "system", "read-only", and "volume
|
||||
label". Most old software will ignore any directory
|
||||
entries with the "volume label" bit set. Real volume label
|
||||
entries don't have the other three bits set.
|
||||
|
||||
2) The starting cluster is always set to 0, an impossible
|
||||
value for a DOS file.
|
||||
|
||||
Because the extended FAT system is backward compatible, it is
|
||||
possible for old software to modify directory entries. Measures must
|
||||
be taken to insure the validity of slots. An extended FAT system can
|
||||
verify that a slot does in fact belong to an 8.3 directory entry by
|
||||
the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Positioning. Slots for a file always immediately proceed
|
||||
their corresponding 8.3 directory entry. In addition, each
|
||||
slot has an id which marks its order in the extended file
|
||||
name. Here is a very abbreviated view of an 8.3 directory
|
||||
entry and its corresponding long name slots for the file
|
||||
"My Big File.Extension which is long":
|
||||
|
||||
<proceeding files...>
|
||||
<slot #3, id = 0x43, characters = "h is long">
|
||||
<slot #2, id = 0x02, characters = "xtension whic">
|
||||
<slot #1, id = 0x01, characters = "My Big File.E">
|
||||
<directory entry, name = "MYBIGFIL.EXT">
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the slots are stored from last to first. Slots
|
||||
are numbered from 1 to N. The Nth slot is or'ed with 0x40
|
||||
to mark it as the last one.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Checksum. Each slot has an "alias_checksum" value. The
|
||||
checksum is calculated from the 8.3 name using the
|
||||
following algorithm:
|
||||
|
||||
for (sum = i = 0; i < 11; i++) {
|
||||
sum = (((sum&1)<<7)|((sum&0xfe)>>1)) + name[i]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
3) If there is in the final slot, a Unicode NULL (0x0000) is stored
|
||||
after the final character. After that, all unused characters in
|
||||
the final slot are set to Unicode 0xFFFF.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, note that the extended name is stored in Unicode. Each Unicode
|
||||
character takes two bytes.
