alias objects


\begin{datadesc}{data}
The raw data for the Alias record, suitable for storing in a resource
or transmitting to other programs.
\end{datadesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{Resolve}{\optional{file}}
Resolve the alias. If the alias was c...
... the alias object
itself was modified during the search process. 
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{GetInfo}{num}
An interface to the C routine \code{GetAliasInfo()}.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{Update}{file\, \optional{file2}}
Update the alias to point to t...
...iven. If \var{file2} is
present a relative alias will be created.
\end{funcdesc}
Note that it is currently not possible to directly manipulate a resource as an alias object. Hence, after calling Update or after Resolve indicates that the alias has changed the Python program is responsible for getting the data from the alias object and modifying the resource.
