Thx for the quick response!
I think I'm almost there. I seem to have a bundlePath : CFURLRef;
but I don't quite know what to do with it. How do I convert it to
something I can use in a Reset() to open a file?
If you enter CFURLRef in the search box at the top right point of the
page, the first link in the search results is http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFBundleRef/Reference/reference.html
The Overview section notes:
***
You can also obtain locations of subdirectories in a bundle
represented as CFURL objects. The CFBundleCopyExecutableURL function
returns the location of the application's executable. The functions
CFBundleCopyResourceURL, CFBundleCopySharedFrameworksURL,
CFBundleCopyPrivateFrameworksURL,CFBundleCopySharedSupportURL, and
CFBundleCopyBuiltInPlugInsURL return the location of a bundle's
subdirectory containing resources, shared frameworks, private
frameworks, shared support files, and plug-ins
***
Clicking on CFURLRef in the declarations of these functions redirects
to http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFURLRef/Reference/reference.html#/
/apple_ref/doc/c_ref/CFURLRef
On that page, under "Functions by Task" and then "Accessing the Parts
of a URL", there is a function called CFURLCopyFileSystemPath. This
function can return a POSIX path (kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle) in a
CFStringRef.
Clicking on CFStringRef redirects to http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Reference/CFStringRef/Reference/reference.html#/
/apple_ref/doc/c_ref/CFStringRef
There, under "Functions by Task" and then "String File System
Representations", there is a function called
CFStringGetFileSystemRepresentation, which in combination with
CFStringGetMaximumSizeOfFileSystemRepresentation can be used to obtain
a null-terminated string containing a path that can be passed to reset
etc.
