We just had another thread about this subject. For pre-10.6, yes, I think that FSCompareFSRefs() is good. For 10.6, I believe you can convert the URLs to file-reference URLs and then compare with -isEqual:. I also mentioned that one can use NSFileManager to get the attributes and compare both NSFileDeviceIdentifier and NSFileSystemFileNumber, which is basically equivalent to the earlier suggestion to use lstat() and compare st_dev and st_ino. Apparently, the NSURLFileResourceIdentifierKey/kCFURLFileResourceIdentifierKey suggestion comes to us from the future. ;) Cheers, Ken _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
