You sure about that? Have you looked from the shell? I got one on
mine...
Mark, Joe, Deivy, Luther,
I see I do -- I was actually 'cd /';ls -la' but just plain failed to
see it.
But here's the real problem. As shown on the Carbon list by at least
three members, FSRefMakePath() fails for "/dev" (the OP is trying to
determine visibility). So I decided to see what AppleScript could do.
Fine for /dev but then someone asked why it reports true for /net:
visible of (info for POSIX file "/dev")
--> false
visible of (info for POSIX file "/net")
--> true
(POSIX file "/dev") as alias
--> error
(POSIX file "/net") as alias
--> "net:"
How is it /dev is invisible and reports false but net is invisible and
reports true?
