I inherited some unix code which I'm porting to OS X. That code makes some
unix file system calls - specifically fstat() and stat(). These calls work
correctly in all cases except where the target file is an OS X application
bundle. In that case, both stat calls fail with a ENOENT - "No such file or
directory" error. Since application bundles are special types of
directories,

They are just straightforward Good Old UNIX directories --- nothing
special about them at all.

I'm assuming there is a problem with these unix functions and
these OS X specific file types. References to normal unix directories work
fine. I could add Carbon routines or wrap some Cocoa objects (NSFilemanager)
- but I'd rather not. Is there another alternative ?


Are you appending the string .app to the bundle name?

Best Wishes,
........ Henry
