Syntax
int readDir(char *path, char *result_buf, unsigned int bufsize);

Parameters
path: The absolute directory path to be listed.
result_buf: The buffer to stores the results.
bufsize: The size of result_buf. If results exceed this size, then the results larger than this size would be discarded.

Returns
This function returns “0” if successful, else returns a negative value.

Example Code
Example: get_file_attribute
(https://github.com/ambiot/ambd_arduino/blob/dev/Arduino_package/hardware/libraries/FatfsSDIO/examples/get_file_attribute/get_file_attribute.ino)

“FatFs_SD.h” must be included to use the class function.

FatFsSD::setLastModTime

Description
Set the last modified timestamp for a file or directory. Ameba doesn’t have built-in RTC. So, we manually change file/directory last modified time.

Syntax
int setLastModTime(char *absolute_path, uint16_t year, uint16_t month, uint16_t date, uint16_t hour, uint16_t minute, uint16_t second);

date: The value of the date.
hour: The value of an hour.
minute: The value of a minute.
second: field “second” contains no valid information in the current version.

Returns
This function returns “0” if success, otherwise returns a negative value for failure.

Example Code
Example: last_modified_time
(https://github.com/ambiot/ambd_arduino/blob/dev/Arduino_package/hardware/libraries/FatfsSDIO/examples/last_modified_time/last_modified_time.ino)

Notes and Warnings
