NSFileManager trashItemAtURL example

trashItemAtURL :resultingItemURL:error:

Moves an item to the trash.

- (BOOL)trashItemAtURL:(NSURL *)url resultingItemURL:(NSURL**)outResultingURL error:(NSError **)error

Return Value of [NSFileManager trashItemAtURL]

YES if the item at url was successfully moved to the trash. Since the operation may require renaming the item to avoid a file name collision, this method returns, by reference, the resulting URL that the item was moved to.

If this method returns NO, the item was not moved to the trash; the error parameter then contains information about the error.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>



int main(int argc, const char * argv[])

            fprintf(stderr, "Please supply one or more file names.\n");

            return 1;            

        }

        for (int i=1; i < argc; i++) {

            const char* file_to_trash = argv[i];

            NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:file_to_trash]];

            NSURL *trashed;

            NSError *error;

            if ([fm trashItemAtURL:url resultingItemURL:&trashed error:&error]) {

                fprintf(stdout, "Trashed %s to %s\n", [[url path] UTF8String], [[trashed path] UTF8String]);

            } else {

                fprintf(stderr, "Failed to trash %s: %s\n", [[url path] UTF8String], [[error localizedDescription] UTF8String]);

                return 1;
