Seems like an easy answer but... I have old code I'm trying to get rid of so bare with me.
Old code called FSGetCatalogInfo() to get a bunch of information about files. One of those bits of data is based upon passing in the kFSCatInfoFSFileSecurityRef flag. So I'd get back the permissions, casting to a FSPermissionInfo*, and then copy the owner and group UUID with FSFileSecurityGetOwnerUUID(). I've never been quite sure what the UUID was supposed to be because I've never seen a UUID that wasn't all zeros. Now that I'm trying to move to the replacement function CFFileSecurityCopyOwnerUUID(), I'm stuck so I thought I'd step back a bit to see if I even need to worry about the UUID. First step seems to be to get some idea of what they are used for! Any body know what needs to be done to get a UUID that is not zero? The other part of my confusion is there doesn't seem to be a way to get/create a CFFileSecurity object for a file. CFFileSecurity objects can be created, but the creation is just to create the object. You can get the UUID, but without a specific file, what is the UUID actually OF? What the heck am I missing here?? As always, any help appreciated!
