I'm creating alias files using bookmark data, as in the docs:

NSData *bookmarkData = [url 
bookmarkDataWithOptions:NSURLBookmarkCreationSuitableForBookmarkFile
                            includingResourceValuesForKeys:nil
                            relativeToURL:nil
                            error:&error];

[NSURL writeBookmarkData:bookmarkData toURL:bookmarkURL options:0 error:&error];

When I look in the Finder, a Finder-created alias of the same file is listed as 
144KB, while the one I saved is 96KB. I'm curious about what's in that extra 
48KB.

I had a look in Terminal and got this:

Shanes-iMac:~ shane$ ls -laoO /Users/shane/Desktop/untitled\ folder
total 496
drwxr-xr-x    5 shane  -   170 14 Apr 08:44 .
drwx------@ 310 shane  - 10540 14 Apr 08:44 ..
-rw-r--r--@   1 shane  -  6148 14 Apr 08:44 .DS_Store
-rw-r--r--@   1 shane  - 48296 13 Apr 22:16 key path samples copy.scpt alias 5
-rw-r--r--@   1 shane  - 48360 13 Apr 22:31 key path samples copy.scpt alias 6

IOW, there's only 64 bytes difference between them -- meanwhile another 48KB 
seems unaccounted for.

Does anyone have an explanation? And can I assume my bookmark-produced files 
will behave the same as Finder-created ones?
