Mac OS aliases creation and reading from node.js
Attention
This library does currently not handle the book\0\0\0\0mark\0\0\0\0
-header. It only does manipulation on the raw alias data.
I intend to add something like alias.write(buf, path)
and alias.read(path)
.
Installation
npm install macos-alias
Usage
var alias = require('macos-alias');
API
alias.create(target)
Create a new alias pointing to target
, returns a buffer.
(This function performs blocking fs interaction)
alias.decode(buf)
Decodes buffer buf
and returns an object with info about the alias.
alias.encode(info)
Encodes the info
-object into an alias, returns a buffer.
alias.isAlias(path)
Check if the file at path
is an alias, returns a boolean.
(This function performs blocking fs interaction)
