How do you get the size of an open file? How do you copy a file?

[111llll111]

Hi ，

How do you get the size of an open file?
How do you copy a file?

I didn't find an api to get the size of a file.
For example, if I want to copy a file and rename it to another file, what should I do?

Thanks！

Hi @111llll111,
you can use the APIs:

UINT    fx_directory_first_full_entry_find(FX_MEDIA *media_ptr, CHAR *directory_name,
                                           UINT *attributes, ULONG *size, 
                                           UINT *year, UINT *month, UINT *day, 
                                           UINT *hour, UINT *minute, UINT *second);

UINT    fx_directory_next_full_entry_find(FX_MEDIA *media_ptr, CHAR *directory_name, 
                                          UINT *attributes, ULONG *size,
                                          UINT *year,UINT *month, UINT *day, 
                                          UINT *hour, UINT *minute, UINT *second);

There is no straight way to copy file as far as I know. (To just rename there is API fx_file_rename)
To know file size you can open the file with fx_file_open and then read the fx_file_current_file_size attribute from the file_ptr

The FX_FILE struct has the fx_file_current_file_size so I can open two files at the same time, reading and writing at the same time is equivalent to copying.
