I am scanning all the leaf nodes pointed to by the Header pointer

listing all the nodeName from the HFSPlusCatalogKey of each leaf node.
My problem is that, most of the time when I search manually for a
file present in the nodeName of the leaf nodes, I dont find it.
Also, the filesnames contanied in nodeName are not on the disk.
( When I search for them manually).
That is to say that when I try to find the file with filename equal
to nodeName, I dont find it on the disk. However there are
instances when the file with nodeName existing on the disk.
In a nutshell, I have written a program that scans all the leaf
nodes of the catalogfile tree(using fLink and bLink) and lists
nodeName of each leaf node. I dont find the listed nodeNames as
files on the disk. (only some of them I find). Also! , when I
search for a specific file, it is not present in the list of
nodeNames.
Kindly help me.
Without knowing what it is that you are actually trying to achieve,
that will be very difficult.
Why are you scanning HFS' private data structures?
