\section{Standard module \sectcode{macostools}}
|

|
|
\stmodindex{macostools}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module contains some convenience routines for file-manipulation
|
||
|
|
on the Macintosh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The \code{macostools} module defines the following functions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module macostools)}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{copy}{src\, dst\optional{\, createpath}}
|
||
|
|
Copy file \var{src} to \var{dst}. The files can be specified as
|
||
|
|
pathnames or \code{FSSpec} objects. If \var{createpath} is non-zero
|
||
|
|
\var{dst} must be a pathname and the folders leading to the
|
||
|
|
destination are created if necessary.
|
||
|
|
The method copies data and resource fork and some finder information
|
||
|
|
(creator, type and flags). Custom icons, comments and icon position
|
||
|
|
are not copied.
|
||
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{copytree}{src\, dst}
|
||
|
|
Recursively copy a file tree from \var{src} to \var{dst}, creating
|
||
|
|
folders as needed. \var{Src} and \var{dst} should be specified as
|
||
|
|
pathnames.
|
||
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{mkalias}{src\, dst}
|
||
|
|
Create a finder alias \var{dst} pointing to \var{src}. Both may be
|
||
|
|
specified as pathnames or \var{FSSpec} objects.
|
||
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{datadesc}{BUFSIZ}
|
||
|
|
The buffer size for \code{copy}, default 1 megabyte.
|
||
|
|
\end{datadesc}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the process of creating finder aliases is not specified in
|
||
|
|
the Apple documentation. Hence, aliases created with \code{mkalias}
|
||
|
|
could conceivably have incompatible behaviour in some cases.
