CHAPTER 3
Finder Commands
102 Command Denitions
Count Counts elements of a particular class in a container. Behaves
like the standard version, except that the Finder always returns
a single integer, never a list of integers.
Data Size Returns the size, in bytes, of the value returned by a Get
command on the same object or objects. Identical to the
standard version.
Delete Deletes one or more objects. Identical to the standard version.
Duplicate Copies an object or objects. Behaves like the standard version,
and also allows you to specify whether or not to replace items
in the destination container.
Exists Determines whether an object exists. Identical to the
standard version.
Get Returns the value of an object. Identical to the standard version,
except that it returns references for most Finder objects rather
than values.
Make Creates a new object. Behaves like the standard version, except
that the Finder can’t set the value of the data for most new
objects, and you can’t use new when you make a new file.
Move Moves an object or objects. Behaves like the standard version,
and also allows you to specify whether or not to replace items
in the destination container.
Open Opens an object or objects. Behaves like the standard version,
except that it can open objects such as folders and suitcases as
well as files.
Print Prints one or more objects. Identical to the standard version.
Quit Terminates the Finder process. Behaves like the standard
version, except that the Finder need not save data before
terminating.
Set Sets value of one or more objects. Identical to standard version.
