NSURLMBS.DocumentIdentifier as String

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.
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.
(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.EffectiveIcon as Variant

Available in OS X v10.6 and later.
Value is a NSImageMBS. We use variant to reduce dependency to other plugins.
(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.filePathURL as NSURLMBS

If the receiver is a file reference URL, this property contains a copy of the URL converted to a file path URL. If the receiver’s URL is a file path URL, this property contains the original URL. If the original URL is not a file URL, or if the resource is not reachable or no longer exists, this property contains nil.

Available in OS X v10.6 and later.
(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.fileReferenceURL as NSURLMBS

File reference URLs use a URL path syntax that identifies a file system object by reference, not by path. This form of file URL remains valid when the file system path of the URL’s underlying resource changes.

If the original URL is a file path URL, this property contains a copy of the URL converted into a file reference URL. If the original URL is a file reference URL, this property contains the original. If the original URL is not a file URL, this property contains nil.

File reference URLs cannot be created to file system objects which do not exist or are not reachable. This property contains nil instead.

In some areas of the file system hierarchy, file reference URLs cannot be generated to the leaf node of the URL path.

A file reference URL's path should never be persistently stored, because it is not valid across system restarts or remounts of volumes. If you need to store a persistent reference to a file system object, use a bookmark instead. You can create a bookmark by calling bookmarkDataWithOptions.

Available in OS X v10.6 and later.
(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.FileResourceIdentifier as String

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.
Returns hex encoded data.

NSURLMBS.fragment as String

This property contains the URL’s fragment. If the receiver does not conform to RFC 1808, this property contains nil. For example, in the URL http://www.example.com/index.html#jumpLocation, the fragment identifier is jumpLocation.
(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.GenerationIdentifier as String

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.

(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.path as String

This property contains the path, unescaped with the stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: method. If the receiver does not conform to RFC 1808, this property contains nil.

If the receiver contains a file or file reference URL (as determined with isFileURL), this property’s value is suitable for input into methods of NSFileManager or NSPathUtilities. If the path has a trailing slash, it is stripped.

If the receiver contains a file reference URL, this property’s value provides the current path for the referenced resource, which may be nil if the resource no longer exists.

If the parameterString property contains a non-nil value, the path may be incomplete. If the receiver contains an unencoded semicolon, the path property ends at the character before the semicolon. The remainder of the URL is provided in the parameterString property.

To obtain the complete path, if parameterString contains a non-nil value, append a semicolon, followed by the parameter string.

Per RFC 3986, the leading slash after the authority (host name and port) portion is treated as part of the path. For example, in the URL http://www.example.com/index.html, the path is /index.html.

Available in OS X v10.8 and later.
(Read only property)

This property contains the port number. For example, in the URL http://www.example.com:8080/index.php, the port number is 8080.

If the receiver does not conform to RFC 1808, this property contains nil. The litmus test for conformance to RFC 1808 is as recommended in RFC 1808—specifically, whether the first two characters of resourceSpecifier are slashes (//).

(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.relativePath as String

This property contains the relative path of the receiver’s URL without resolving against its base URL. If the path has a trailing slash it is stripped. If the receiver is an absolute URL, this property contains the same value as path. If the receiver does not conform to RFC 1808, it contains nil.
(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.relativeString as String

This property contains a string representation of the relative portion of the URL. If the receiver is an absolute URL this method returns the same value as absoluteString.

(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.scheme as String

This property contains the scheme. For example, in the URL http://www.example.com/index.html, the scheme is http.

(Read only property)

NSURLMBS.standardizedURL as NSURLMBS

This property contains a new NSURL object, initialized using the receiver’s path with any instances of ".." or "." removed.

If the URL conforms to RFC 1808 (the most common form of URL), this property contains the specified URL component; otherwise it contains nil. The litmus test for conformance to RFC 1808 is as recommended in RFC 1808—specifically, whether the first two characters of resourceSpecifier are slashes (//).
