## FIL

The `FIL` structure (file object) holds the state of an open file. It is created by `f_open` function and discarded by `f_close` function. Application program must not modify any member in this structure except for `cltbl`, or any data on the FAT volume can be collapsed. Note that a sector buffer is defined in this structure at non-tiny configuration (`_FS_TINY == 0`), so that the `FIL` structures at that configuration should not be defined as auto variable.

    typedef struct {
        _FDID   obj;          /* Owner file sytem object and object identifier */
        BYTE    flag;         /* File object status flags */
        BYTE    err;          /* Abort flag (error code) */
        FSIZE_t fptr;         /* File read/write pointer (Byte offset origin from top of the file) */
        DWORD   clust;        /* Current cluster of fptr (One cluster behind if fptr is on the cluster boundary. Invalid if fptr == 0.) */
        DWORD   sect;         /* Current data sector (Can be invalid if fptr is on the cluster boundary.)*/

        DWORD*  cltbl;        /* Pointer to the cluster link map table (Nulled on file open. Set by application.) */
