 @return
  

CFURLRef getCFURL()

 getFSRef

 Returns the FSRef of the file object.

 @return
  

FSRef getFSRef()

 getFSSpec

 Returns the FSSpec of the file object.

 NOTE: Observes the state of the followLinks attribute.
 If the file object is an alias and followLinks is TRUE, returns
 the target of the alias. If followLinks is FALSE, returns
 the unresolved alias file.

 @return
  

FSSpec getFSSpec()

 initToAppWithCreatorCode

 look for running application with the given creator.

 @param   aAppCreator     the signature of the app

void initToAppWithCreatorCode(in OSType aAppCreator)

 initWithCFURL

 Init this object with a CFURLRef

 @param   aCFURL         the CoreFoundation URL

void initWithCFURL(in CFURLRef aCFURL)

 initWithFSRef

 Init this object with an FSRef

 NOTE: Supported only for XP_MACOSX or TARGET_CARBON

 @param   aFSRef         the native file spec

void initWithFSRef([const] in FSRefPtr aFSRef)

 initWithFSSpec

 Init this object with an FSSpec
 Legacy method - leaving in place for now

 @param   aFileSpec       the native file spec

void initWithFSSpec([const] in FSSpecPtr aFileSpec)

 isPackage

 returns true if a directory is determined to be a package under Mac OS 9/X

boolean isPackage()

 launchWithDoc

 @param   aDocToLoad          Must not be NULL. If no document, use nsILocalFile::launch
 @param   aLaunchInBackground TRUE if the application should not come to the front.

void launchWithDoc(in nsILocalFile aDocToLoad, in boolean aLaunchInBackground)

 openDocWithApp

 Open the document that this file points to with the given application.

 @param   aAppToOpenWith      The application with  which to open the document.
                              If NULL, the creator code of the document is used
                              to determine the application.
 @param   aLaunchInBackground TRUE if the application should not come to the front.

void openDocWithApp(in nsILocalFile aAppToOpenWith, in boolean aLaunchInBackground)

 setFileTypeAndCreatorFromExtension

 Internet Config is used to determine the mapping.

 @param   aExtension

void setFileTypeAndCreatorFromExtension(in string aExtension)

 setFileTypeAndCreatorFromMIMEType

 Sets the file type and creator code from a MIME type.
 Internet Config is used to determine the mapping.

 @param   aMIMEType
