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.

In my system that's a regular file, although I haven't tried
FSIsAliasFile() on it to see what info I'd get. Have you checked
manually at the terminal level? I would guess file(1) confirming it's
not an alias would indeed have a lot of bearing on being able to
resolve it.

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
