Alias Manager Routines

This section describes the routines you use to create, update, resolve, and read alias records. Alias Manager routines use file system specification records (defined by the FSSpec data type) to identify files, directories, and volumes. To create an FSSpec record, call the function FSMakeFSSpec, described in the chapter "File Manager" in
this book.

The Alias Manager routines can return the result codes listed in this section or any other applicable file system or memory management result codes.
