Hi. Can anyone point me to documentation explaining Apple's way of

What APIs are available to control the symlink structure?

What command-line utilities are available for manipulating the symlink
structure? I'm guessing something more sophisticated than rm and ln

Searching for framework and version in Apple's developer site led me almost immediately to this:


<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/ BPFrameworks/Concepts/VersionInformation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/ 20002255>

You should probably at least skim the whole document: <http:// developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFrameworks/ Frameworks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000183>

It's an easy read. What it boils down to, though, is that at the very worst you should only ever have to manipulate a single link when adding versions - the one named "Current." If you try to do any more than that, you're going to be fighting the OS.
