Is it possible to copy a symbolic link (the symbolic link file and
not the item it references) using the FSPathCopyObjectSync API?
No valuable info was found in the documentation, the list archive,
google results.
The File Manager Reference
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/
File_Manager/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/func/
FSCopyObjectSync
saying
A pointer to the source object to copy. The object can be a file or
a directory.
would suggest to me that a symlink file would be OK.
Not sure if your searching came across "FSCopyObject - /Sources/
FSCopyObject.c"
http://developer.apple.com/SampleCode/FSCopyObject/listing3.html
but it might be informative to your question.
I was into these or similar links for a problem of my own yesterday
but "the documentation, the list archive and google results" did lead
to a resolution which they often do. I wasn't aware symlinks might be
a problem until I started getting -1407 File Manager errors that
seemed related to these files. Since you are aware in advance they
might be a concern a little testing might give you a more definite
answer and save some searching.
(Fwiw, I eliminated the use in one place of an FSSpec since these
seem to be getting more and more deprecated these days and I used
FSPathMakeRefWithOptions (10.4+) in another place which looked like
it would default resolve symlinks and these changes seemed to correct
my own problem. No -1407 errors).
