Call the C standard library and POSIX API functions to perform such actions on files as open, read, write, erase, copy, etc. Use paths starting with the path prefix passed to :cpp:func:`esp_vfs_register` (for example, ``"/sdcard/hello.txt"``). The filesystem uses `8.3 filenames <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3_filename>`_ format (SFN) by default. If you need to use long filenames (LFN), enable the :ref:`CONFIG_FATFS_LONG_FILENAMES` option. More details on the FatFs filenames are available `here <http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/doc/filename.html>`_.
 
-5. Optionally, by enabling the option `CONFIG_FATFS_USE_FASTSEEK`, use the POSIX lseek function to perform it faster, the fast seek will not work for files in write mode, so to take advantage of fast seek, you should open (or close and then reopen) the file in read-only mode.

 6. Optionally, call the FatFs library functions directly. In this case, use paths without a VFS prefix (for example, ``"/hello.txt"``).
