FAT12

What is this about ?

`This is a simulation of a how a FAT12 system looks like. There are certain things to be kept in mind while studying the code for understanding what is it about.

• The data.txt is a file that contains information pertaining to the FILE system simulation. Aspects like creation, modification etc, are included in the data.txt file.
• The program is setup in such a way that it parses information from data.txt and then follows the cycle of instructions in order to simulate a FAT12 system.
• . and .. are included in the File directory of the FAT12 system
• Since this is a simulation there is a constraint on the disk space, 2MB
• The directory can contain a maximum of 12 files, after which the files are allocated onto the next block

How to run ?

First create the binary using the make command

make

Now just run the binary

./fat12
