-Readme for the yaffs_import.py file
-by Timothy Manning <timothy@yaffs.net> 2010
-
-python yaffs_import [scanning_path] [optional flags]
-
-the scanning path needs to be the absolute path to the directory where you
-wish to start scanning from. this function will scan all of the the
-directories above this path and copy the all files in these directories.
-
-example:
- $ yaffs_importer.py /home/timothy/work/yaffs/
-
-yaffs_import.py must be run in yaffs/direct/python/ directory.
-
-flags:
- -d [number]
- set the debugging message level.
- level 0 error messages
- level 1 basic tasks are shown(creating, deleating,ect)(this is set as the
- default and is recommended)
- level 2 all process are shown
- level 3 shows minor tasks such as join_paths, ect
- level 4 is used for bug hunting and shows each step and in detail
- -ignore_hidden_directories
- will not copy hidden (./) directories if used.
-
- -o [yaffs_path]
- chooses the path where the branch will be copyied into yaffs.
- note this path must start with "/yaffs2/"
- example: python yaffs_importer.py /home/timothy/work/yaffs/yaffs_importer_test_dir -o /yaffs2/apple/
-
- -yaffs_trace [number]
- this sets the yaffs_trace() function with the number inputed.
- this number must be in the range of char.
- yaffs_importer saves the current yaffs_trace value and restores the value after the branch has been imported.
- setting this flag to -1 will run yaffs_importer with the default yaffs_trace value.
-
-Deleting files and folders
- to deleate files and folders in yaffs use the yaffs_browser (the documentation still needs to be written).
- to run the browser use this: "python yaffs_browser"
- to deleate a file or a folder select the file or folder then go
- Edit->Delete selected.
-
-Clear Yaffs
- the easiest way to clear the yaffs file system of all files and folders is to remove
- the emfile-2k-0 file. this file is stored in the
- yaffs2/direct/python/ folder.
- the command is: rm emfile-2k-0
-
-TODO list
- Add fix the problem of yaffs_write() returning -1 when the disk is full.(generate a error message)
- Add a yaffs error code refrence (prints a text message about the error)
