Folder Manager Reference

The Folder Manager allows you to find and search folders, create new folders, and control how files are routed between folders. Because you can use the Folder Manager to manipulate standard Mac OS folders without relying on their names, your program is tolerant of changes to folder names and easier to localize.

This document describes the Folder Manager programming interface. Portions of this document were previously released as part of Mac OS 8 Toolbox Reference. See Appendix A, Version History , for descriptions of changes to and prior releases of this document.

WARNING

All Folder Manager functions may move or purge memory and cannot be called at interrupt time.
