Hello,

I'm trying to replace the following deprecated NSFileManager method:

> /* attributesOfItemAtPath:error: returns an NSDictionary of key/value pairs 
> containing the attributes of the item (file, directory, symlink, etc.) at the 
> path in question. If this method returns 'nil', an NSError will be returned 
> by reference in the 'error' parameter. This method does not traverse a 
> terminal symlink.
>  
>     This method replaces fileAttributesAtPath:traverseLink:.
>  */
> - (NSDictionary *)attributesOfItemAtPath:(NSString *)path error:(NSError 
> **)error;


The old statement traverses the link:

        NSDictionary* attr = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] 
fileAttributesAtPath:file traverseLink:YES];

The problem is that the header states that 'attributesOfItemAtPath:error:' that 
it's a replacement for 'fileAttributesAtPath:traverseLink:', but provides no 
provision for traversing the link.

How would I obtain the attributes of an item that needs to be traversed first?

Thanks,

-- Tito
