Much thanks for the information everyone. Invaluable stuff, and I finally
have the behavior I was looking for.
I'm still fuzzy on the real function of 'fromPath:'. It's equiv in
FSNewAlias() appears to be fromFile which is defined as 'A pointer to the
starting point for a relative search...' and could be given a NULL value (at
least in fromFile). Of course my fuzziness on 'relative search' may stem
from my complete non-understanding of 'alias records'. It's all quite
overwhelming really.
@Sean -- My suggestion to change the var name 'aliasFilePath' to
'aliasFileName' stemmed from not 'grokking' that a path COULD go there. I
even think it SHOULD go there. I may recommend changing it back to it's
original name and for clarity sake, perhaps building an explicit path to the
alias much as is done with the path to the file it points to [
kDirOfTestProject stringByAppendingPathComponent:kTestFileName].
On the other hand, since I appear to be the only person in the world who was
confused, please take that suggestion with a 20lb grain of salt.
Alright. Back to the salt mines.
