Hi,
I use the unix command "hdiutil info -plist" to get information about a
mounted disk image in order to mount it later again. I get a pList
(NSDictionary) with some keys.
I iterate through the key @"images" then through the key @"system-entities"
and when I find the key @"mount-point" equal to my disk mount point, this
means that the @"images" item value is the one I need. It works well.
I would like to know:
Does the value at the key @"image-alias" contain a NSData alias useful to
mount the volume with the following routine?
- (BOOL)MountVolumeFromAliasData:(NSData*)aliasData
{
AliasHandle outAlias = nil;
FSRef target;
OSErr err;
outAlias = (AliasHandle)NewHandleClear([aliasData length]);
[aliasData getBytes:*outAlias];
err = FSResolveAlias(NULL, outAlias, &target, &wasChanged);
DisposeHandle((Handle)outAlias);
return (err == noErr);
}
Also, using the routine above with a traditional AliasHandle (I get with the
Carbon API "FSNewAlias") I can mount only disk image volumes without
password. Instead I suppose that using the unix command "hdiutil mount" I
could be able to mount a disk image volume with a password.
Which sintax should I use in order to mount the volume with a password?
Sorry, but I found the "man hdiutil" in the Terminal to hard for my
comprehension. Too much teory and few sample-code.
Best Regards
