You can do this:

[[path stringByDeletingLastPathComponent]
stringByAppendingPathComponent:[fima pathContentOfSymbolicLinkAtPath

:path]];


I think that will work.

Actually, that won't. You have to write a special case still to handle if
the symbolic link is absolute.

What are you trying to accomplish, exactly?

I want to call statfs(), and had previously concluded that it does not follow symbolic links. It seems that on 10.4.11 this is no longer true.

So - just for fun - how can I convert the symbolic link "/tmp" into an absolute pathname?
stringByResolvingSymlinksInPath leaves it unchanged.
pathContentOfSymbolicLinkAtPath returns a relative path.
What to do?


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
