I tried using:
OSErr FSNewAliasFromPath ( const char *fromFilePath, const char *targetPath, OptionBits flags, AliasHandle *inAlias, Boolean *isDirectory );
But i don't quite get how should i use the fromFilePath parameter,
say i want to create an alias for "Users/me/Documents/foo" at "Users/ me/Desktop/foo"
should i pass the first path as "fromFilePath"?


Yes. If you have the paths as NSStrings, then use - fileSystemRepresentation (not -UTF8String and definitely not - cStringUsingEncoding:) to get a path string.
