PyObjC - Support for FSRef and FSSpec

Type objc.FSRef

This type represents an opaque FSRef structure.

New instances are created using the from_pathname method:

Instances of objc.FSRef are opaque and don't provide access to specific fields in the structure. The following methods and properties are available to access an instance:

• aref.data

  A bytestring containing the value of the FSRef object.

• aref.as_pathname()

  Returns the POSIX path for the FSRef object.

• aref.as_carbon()

  Returns a Carbon.File.FSRef instance for the FSRef object.

  NOTE: This method is only available when Carbon support is enabled in the Python build.

NOTE: Carbon.File.FSRef instances can be used as the argument of functions that have an FSRef structure as one of their arguments.

Type objc.FSSpec

This type represents an opaque FSSpec structure. It is not possible to create FSSpec instances in Python code.

Instances of objc.FSSpec are opaque and don't provide access to specific fields in the structure. The following methods and properties are available to access an instance:

• aref.data

  A bytestring containing the value of the FSRef object.

• aref.as_carbon()

  Returns a Carbon.File.FSRef instance for the FSRef object.

  NOTE: This method is only available when Carbon support is enabled in the Python build.

NOTE: Carbon.File.FSSpec instances can be used as the argument of functions that have an FSSpec structure as one of their arguments.
