SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System)
V0.3.3

Love to hear feedback though!
* INTRODUCTION
Spiffs is a file system intended for SPI NOR flash devices on embedded targets.
Spiffs is designed with following characteristics in mind:
- Small (embedded) targets, sparse RAM without heap
- Only big areas of data (blocks) can be erased
- An erase will reset all bits in block to ones
- Writing pulls one to zeroes
- Zeroes can only be pulled to ones by erase
- Wear leveling
* FEATURES
What spiffs does:
- Specifically designed for low ram usage
- Uses statically sized ram buffers, independent of number of files
- Posix-like api: open, close, read, write, seek, stat, etc
- It can be run on any NOR flash, not only SPI flash - theoretically also on
embedded flash of an microprocessor
- Multiple spiffs configurations can be run on same target - and even on same
SPI flash device
- Implements static wear leveling
- Built in file system consistency checks
What spiffs does not:
- Presently, spiffs does not support directories. It produces a flat
structure. Creating a file with path "tmp/myfile.txt" will create a file
called "tmp/myfile.txt" instead of a "myfile.txt" under directory "tmp".
- It is not a realtime stack. One write operation might take much longer than
another.
- Poor scalability. Spiffs is intended for small memory devices - the normal
sizes for SPI flashes. Going beyond ~128MB is probably a bad idea. This is
a side effect of the design goal to use as little ram as possible.
- Presently, it does not detect or handle bad blocks.

User data in callbacks #34
Ignoring SINGLETON build in cache setup (thanks Luca)
Compilation error fixed #32 (thanks @chotasanjiv)
Align cand_scores (thanks @hefloryd)
Fix build warnings when SPIFFS_CACHE is 0 (thanks @ajaybhargav)
New config defines:
SPIFFS_FILEHDL_OFFSET
0.3.2
Limit cache size if too much cache is given (thanks pgeiem)
New feature - Controlled erase. #23
SPIFFS_rename leaks file descriptors #28 (thanks benpicco)
moved dbg print defines in test framework to params_test.h
lseek should return the resulting offset (thanks hefloryd)
fixed type on dbg ifdefs
silence warning about signed/unsigned comparison when spiffs_obj_id is 32 bit (thanks benpicco)
Possible error in test_spiffs.c #21 (thanks yihcdaso-yeskela)
Cache might writethrough too often #16
even moar testrunner updates
Test framework update and some added tests
Some thoughts for next gen
Test sigsevs when having too many sectors #13 (thanks alonewolfx2)
GC might be suboptimal #11
Fix eternal readdir when objheader at last block, last entry
New API functions:
SPIFFS_gc_quick - call a nonintrusive gc

0.3.1
Removed two return warnings, was too triggerhappy on release
0.3.0
Added existing namecheck when creating files
Lots of static analysis bugs #6
Added rename func
Fix SPIFFS_read length when reading beyond file size
Added reading beyond file length testcase
Made build a bit more configurable
Changed name in spiffs from "errno" to "err_code" due to conflicts compiling
in mingw
Improved GC checks, fixed an append bug, more robust truncate for very special
case
GC checks preempts GC, truncate even less picky
Struct alignment needed for some targets, define in spiffs config #10
Spiffs filesystem magic, definable in config
New config defines:
SPIFFS_USE_MAGIC - enable or disable magic check upon mount
SPIFFS_ALIGNED_OBJECT_INDEX_TABLES - alignment for certain targets
New API functions:
SPIFFS_rename - rename files
SPIFFS_clearerr - clears last errno
SPIFFS_info - returns info on used and total bytes in fs
SPIFFS_format - formats the filesystem
SPIFFS_mounted - checks if filesystem is mounted
