That’s a weird idea IMHO — it seems like a much lower-level detail than what the file system’s APIs would expose, or what a user would care about. And what does “fragmented” mean exactly? Is a file fragmented if even one of its sectors is not exactly contiguous with the others? Does this even matter on SSDs, where seek time is a non-issue? I’ve never heard of any API for this and I’d be very surprised if there were one, since this info really only matters to the filesystem itself and perhaps some specialized filesystem tools like fsck. In any case, this is way outside scope for Cocoa-dev. I suggest you check whether there’s an Apple list that’s focused on filesystems. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
