Standard module macostools

macostools This module contains some convenience routines for file-manipulation on the Macintosh. The macostools module defines the following functions:
\begin{funcdesc}{copy}{src\, dst\optional{\, createpath}}
Copy file \var{src} to...
... flags). Custom icons, comments and icon position
are not copied.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{copytree}{src\, dst}
Recursively copy a file tree from \var{src...
...needed. \var{Src} and \var{dst} should be specified as
pathnames.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{funcdesc}{mkalias}{src\, dst}
Create a finder alias \var{dst} pointing to...
...src}. Both may be
specified as pathnames or \var{FSSpec} objects.
\end{funcdesc}

\begin{datadesc}{BUFSIZ}
The buffer size for \code{copy}, default 1 megabyte.
\end{datadesc}
Note that the process of creating finder aliases is not specified in the Apple documentation. Hence, aliases created with mkalias could conceivably have incompatible behaviour in some cases.
