I'm trying to figure out how to generate a list of local shares

the machine I'm running on, how do I find the path to that directory?
I thought I had it figured out, using a combination of property
lists and NetInfo (./config/SharePoints, ./users/<username>/
sharedDir), but now I find that in 10.3 and later I can't use
NetInfo. Is that information now accessed via Open Directory? I
don't suppose anyone has done something like this already and
could point me at some sample code? (I guess anything that reads
something that is in NetInfo the new way would be extremely helpful.)
TIA
Philip,
There are two options... the most expedient one would be to grab
the headers for the NetInfo APIs from the appropriate Darwin
project and just continue using them. This can be done by grabbing
the appropriate version of the Libinfo code from http://
darwinsource.opendarwin.org or http://www.opensource.apple.com/
darwinsource/.
This might be expedient, but it's not without peril. :-(
The netinfo headers were removed because the APIs are now fully
deprecated and will go away completely in future releases of the OS.
For now, it's may be a reasonable stop-gap solution, just be aware
that it's going to break at some point.
