Reading an AliasHandle from a Finder alias file


  • Subject: Reading an AliasHandle from a Finder alias file

Is there a way to read AliasHandle data from an OS X Finder alias file - sort of like the way one could create an AliasHandle in memory in the old days by reading a alias resource from OS 9 alias files?

The Alias Manager APIs only seem to provide routines for determining if a file is an alias, or for resolving it - but not for creating an AliasHandle from the contents of an alias file directly.

FSFollowFinderAlias kind of does what I want, but not really. If I read the entire data fork of a Finder alias will the read data be a valid AliasRecord or do I need to do some further manipulation on the read data?
Thanks,

Erg
