The name ''VFAT'' is derived from ''Virtual FAT''.<br /> <br /> Instead of just the old-style &quot;8.3&quot; all-uppercase filenames, VFAT filenames support Unicode, mixed case, and can be as long as 255 [[UCS-2]] codepoints.<br /> <br /> VFAT was introduced with [[Windows 95]]. It is the subject of several [[patents]] filed by Microsoft in the 1990s.<br /> <br /> == Format details ==<br /> VFAT is a hack that works by storing the extended filename in one or more extra directory entries that appear before the &quot;real&quot; directory entry. Most software that is not VFAT-aware will ignore the extra entries, thinking they are volume labels, and thus something that should be ignored.<br /> <br /> == Specifications ==<br /> * Refer to the [[FAT32]] specifications.<br /> * [[Wikipedia: Design of the_FAT_file_system#VFAT long file names]]<br /> * https://wiki.osdev.org/FAT#Long_File_Names<br /> <br /> == Links ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia: File Allocation Table#Long file names]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Microsoft]]</div>
