NSFileWrapper addFileWrapper example in Objective C (iOS).

NSFileWrapper addFileWrapper

Adds a child file wrapper to the receiver, which must be a directory file wrapper.

- (NSString *)addFileWrapper:(NSFileWrapper *)child

Parameters
child
File wrapper to add to the directory.

Return Value of [NSFileWrapper addFileWrapper]
Dictionary key used to store fileWrapper in the directory’s list of file wrappers. The dictionary key is a unique filename, which is the same as the passed-in file wrapper's preferred filename unless that name is already in use as a key in the directory’s dictionary of children. See “Working With Directory Wrappers” in Application File Management for more information about the file-wrapper list structure.

Discussion of [NSFileWrapper addFileWrapper]
Use this method to add an existing file wrapper as a child of a directory file wrapper. If the file wrapper does not have a preferred filename, use the setPreferredFilename: method to give it one before calling addFileWrapper:. To create a new file wrapper and add it to a directory, use the addRegularFileWithContents:preferredFilename: method.

Special Considerations
This method raises NSInternalInconsistencyException if the receiver is not a directory file wrapper.

This method raises NSInvalidArgumentException if the child file wrapper doesn’t have a preferred name.
