No, I don’t want to use deprecated APIs. The whole point of rewriting an application and going for copyfile() was to get rid of the deprecated File Manager API. I know I can also use Core Foundation CFURL’s CFURLSetResourcePropertyForKey(), but that’s essentially the same using its Cocoa companion. I’m interested in staying at POSIX level.
