Hi Greg,

I am using NSFileManager to enumerate over some files and have come across something that I cannot seem to figure out.

When you determine that a file is a symbolic link, how can you get the target of that link using the NSFileManager methods?

NSFileManager has a couple of methods that manipulate symlinks - I believe the one you're looking for is this:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ ObjC_classic/Classes/NSFileManager.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000305- CHDDBAHC

pathContentOfSymbolicLinkAtPath:
- (NSString *)pathContentOfSymbolicLinkAtPath:(NSString *)path

Returns the actual path of the directory or file that the symbolic link path refers to. Returns nil upon failure.
