---=== README ===--- -= INFORMATION =- FATSort is a utility to sort FAT16 and FAT32 partitions (I found FAT12 a little bit too complicated, so I didn't implement it). It even can handle long file name entries. It was developed because I wanted to sort my MP3 files on my MP3 hardware player. Unfortunetly, there was no utility out there so far, so I had to write it myself. FATSort reads the boot sector and sorts the directory structure. FATSort is released under GPL. -= COMPILATION =- Just run the Makfile in the fatsort directory with "make". The 'fatsort' executable will be build. -= INSTALLATION =- Just run make install -= USAGE =- Syntax: fatsort [options] device Options: -c Ignore case of file names -f Force sorting even if filesystem is mounted -h Print some help -i Print file system information only -l Print current order of files only -o flag Sort order of files where flag is d : directories first (default) f : files first a : files and directories are not distinguished -n Natural order sorting -d dir Sort directory dir only -D dir Sort directory dir and all subdirectories -q Be quiet -r Sort in reverse order -v Print version information Examples: fatsort /dev/sda fatsort -c -oa /dev/sda1 -= BUGS AND FEEDBACK =- Please note, that FATSort may damage your file system.
