fatutil - A Tool to Manipulate FAT32 Filesystem Images

March 27, 2015

I often times run across the need to manipulate FAT filesystem images as part of an automated build process. Basically, I want to be able to generate a FAT filesystem image and then add files, remove files, and inspect the contents of the filesystem image without having to depend on root access (loopback mount) or fuse. So, I've converted a project that goes by many names, including libfat and fuse-umfuse-fat into something called fatutil.

The source can be found at https://github.com/digitalpeer/fatutil

usage: fatutil FATIMG CMD [OPTIONS]
Where CMD [OPTIONS] is one of the following:
  stat
  ls DIR
  rmdir DIR
  unlink FILE
  mkdir DIR
  write SOURCE_FILE FAT_DEST_FILE
  read FAT_SOURCE_FILE DEST_FILE
