Hi,

Is there any way to lock a file in cocoa? I want to lock a file on desktop programmatically so that I can't move that file to trash until I unlock the file.

Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,

here's how I do it:


        NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSDictionary *attribs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:NSFileImmutable];
        [fm changeFileAttributes:attribs  atPath:path];

Have a look at the NSFileManager Class Reference in the documentation.
