Prior to 10.6 you would use Alias records, but in 10.6 Apple added URL-based bookmarks (which are pretty much alias records with some new features).

Cocoa: NSURL bookmarks

C/C++: CFURL bookmarks

I know about bookmarks, but the bookmark data is not persistent between reboots despite still being resolvable between reboots. I need something that will not change under any circumstances other than deleting and re-creating the file/folder. This is so I can search for a value in a database corresponding to a file/folder.

Is it right to say that what are doing is uniquely identifying the file/folder content? If so, git uses hashes for this purpose, a fact that you probably know already.
