I need an absolute path.
So I do:
NSFileManager *fima = [ NSFileManager defaultManager ];
NSString *fileType = [ [ fima fileAttributesAtPath: path
traverseLink: NO ]; fileType ];
if ( [ fileType isEqualToString: NSFileTypeSymbolicLink ] )
path = [ fima pathContentOfSymbolicLinkAtPath: path ];
The problem is: "/tmp" is converted to "private/tmp" (Note the
missing slash at the start).
Short of hardcoding a change from "private" to "/private" -
is there some Cocoa (or Carbon or bsd or whatever) way to get "/tmp"
converted to "/private/tmp" (with the leading slash) ?
(Same problem exists for /etc and /var).
> ls -l /tmp
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root gerriet 11 Feb 1 2007 /tmp -> private/tmp
But "cd /tmp" does not always do the same as "cd private/tmp". Why?
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
