NSURLMBS.fileURLWithFileSystemRepresentation(path as string, isDirectory as boolean, relativeToURL as NSURLMBS) as NSURLMBS

File system representation is a string with canonical UTF-8 encoding.

NSURLMBS.fileURLWithPath(path as string) as NSURLMBS

Better to use fileURLWithPath with directory parameter if you know if the path is a directory vs non-directory, as it saves an i/o.

Available in OS X v10.6 and later.

NSURLMBS.NSURLDocumentIdentifierKey as string

The document identifier returned as a number (read-only).

The document identifier is a value assigned by the kernel to a file or directory. This value is used to identify the document regardless of where it is moved on a volume. The identifier persists across system restarts. It is not transferred when the file is copied, but it survives "safe save" operations. For example, it remains on the path to which it was assigned, even after calling the replaceItemAtURL:withItemAtURL:backupItemName:options:resultingItemURL:error: method. Document identifiers are only unique within a single volume. This property is not supported by all volumes.

Available in OS X v10.10 and iOS 8.0.

Available in OS X v10.6 and later.

NSURLMBS.NSURLFileResourceIdentifierKey as string

The resource’s unique identifier, returned as an id (read-only).

This identifier can be used to determine equality between file system resources with the isEqual: method. Two resources are equal if they have the same file-system path or if their paths link to the same inode on the same file system.

The value of this identifier is not persistent across system restarts.

Available in OS X v10.7 and later.

If used with getResourceValue will give a MemoryBlock.

Available in OS X v10.6 and later.

NSURLMBS.NSURLGenerationIdentifierKey as string

An opaque generation identifier, returned as an id (read-only)

The generation identifier can be compared using isEqual to determine if the data in a document has been modified. For URLs which refer to the same file inode, the generation identifier changes when the data in the file's data fork is changed. Changes to extended attributes or other file system metadata do not change the identifier. For URLs which refer to the same directory inode, the generation identifier changes when direct children of that directory are added, removed or renamed. Changes to the data of the direct children of that directory does not change the generation identifier. The identifier persists across system restarts. It is tied to a specific document on a specific volume and is not transferred when the document is copied to another volume. This property is not supported by all volumes.

Available in OS X v10.10 and iOS 8.0.

Available in OS X v10.6 and later.

NSURLMBS.NSURLIsMountTriggerKey as string

Key for determining whether the URL is a file system trigger directory, returned as a Boolean NSNumber object (read-only). Traversing or opening a file system trigger directory causes an attempt to mount a file system on the directory.

Available in OS X v10.7 and later.

NSURLMBS.NSURLIsPackageKey as string

Key for determining whether the resource is a file package, returned as a Boolean NSNumber object (read-write in OS X v10.8 and later, read-only in previous versions). A true value means that the resource is a file package.
