How do I read the file allocation table of a USB mass storage device, which has been formatted using FAT32 file system (functions, structs)?
I'm trying to do this in Linux.

There's never any need to do this yourself / by hand in linux - just mount the mass storage device as `vfat` filesystem and access it through normal filesystem I/O. The functionality is already there. – FrankH. Jun 01 '11 at 10:58

Refer to Understanding FAT32 Filesystems.

... and if you google "fatgen103.pdf" you'll find Microsoft's specification document itself. – FrankH. Jun 01 '11 at 10:57
