FatFs - f_read

## f_read

The f_read function reads data from a file.

    FRESULT f_read (
      FIL* FileObject,    /* Pointer to the file object structure */
      void* Buffer,       /* Pointer to the buffer to store read data */
      UINT ByteToRead,    /* Number of bytes to read */
      UINT* ByteRead      /* Pointer to the variable to return number of bytes read */
    );

#### Parameters

FileObject
  Pointer to the open file object.
Buffer
  Pointer to the buffer to store read data
ByteToRead
  Number of bytes to read in range of UINT.
ByteRead
  Pointer to the UINT variable to return number of bytes read. The value is always valid after the function call regardless of the result.

#### Return Values

FR_OK, FR_DISK_ERR, FR_INT_ERR, FR_NOT_READY, FR_INVALID_OBJECT, FR_TIMEOUT

#### Description

The file pointer of the file object increases in number of bytes read. After the function succeeded, `*ByteRead` should be checked to detect the end of file. In case of `*ByteRead < ByteToRead`, it means the read/write pointer reached end of the file during read operation.
