- Inside Mac says "a new directory tree node is created
- for each File ID that is created"
-
- However, I always assumed files always had IDs under
- HFS (and that might be the value returned in the dirID
- field when calling PBGetCatInfo, who knows? :-)
-
- Am I correct in assuming that, under HFS, there is no
- penalty involved in creating a file ID for every file?
- (I am not concerned about remote volumes)
-
- Cheers,
