Hello All,

The file /usr/lib/charset.alias is identified by FSIsAliasFile() as an
alias file. However, when I try to resolve it using
FSResolveAliasFile() it fails to resolve.

Below is the code :

#include<stdio.h>
#include "/Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon/Aliases.h"

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
        FSRef fileRef;
        Boolean aliasFileFlag, folderFlag,targetIsFolder,wasAliased;
        FSRef theRef;
        char path[255];
        int i=0;
        int x;

        FSPathMakeRef((UInt8 *)argv[1],&fileRef,NULL);
        FSPathMakeRef((UInt8 *)argv[1],&theRef,NULL);
        FSIsAliasFile(&fileRef, &aliasFileFlag, &folderFlag);
        if(aliasFileFlag == TRUE)
                printf("Alias file\n");
        else
        {
                if(folderFlag == 1)
                        printf("Folder\n");
                else
                        printf("File\n");
                return 0;
        }
        x = FSResolveAliasFile(&theRef,TRUE,&targetIsFolder,&wasAliased);
        if (x)
                printf("failed\n");

        if(targetIsFolder == TRUE)
                printf("Target is Directory\n");
        else
                printf("Target is file\n");

        FSRefMakePath(&theRef,path,255);
        printf("\"%s\" points to \"%s\"\n",argv[1],path);
        return 0;
}

This code works for all other files.

What might be the issue  ?

The output of GetFileInfo does not indicate that the file is an alias.

 /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo /usr/lib/charset.alias
