MKLLFS (Make Linked List File System)

Introduction

The llfs filesystem can be generated using the mkllfss utility. It is a simple filesystem that uses a linked list to store files. The filesystem is stored in a single c file (llfs_data.c), which can be compiled and read by the llfs library. The llfs filesystem is a flat filesystem, meaning that it does not support directories.

The mkllfs utilit can be used to generate the llfs_data.c file. The llfs_data.c file from a directory with files.

A pre-compiled version can be download: mkllfs.exe

Usage

The mkllfs utility can be used as follows:

mkllfs [options] <directory> <output_file>

For example:

mkllfs data llfs_data.c

Available options:

  -h, --help           show the help message and exit
  -v, --version        print the version of mkllfs and the llfs library that it generates for

Using the batch file

The mkllfs.bat file can be used to generate the llfs_data.c file from the data in the llfs-data directory. Before using this script, place mkllfs.exe in the same directory as the batch file.

Building

The mkllfs utility can be built using the following command:

gcc -o mkllfs mkllfs.c

For windows, you can use the following command:

gcc -o mkllfs.exe mkllfs.c
