iOS 应用程序的沙盒 - Application’s Sandbox

 以下是iOS模拟器下，文件的组织形式，在iOS Device 上的文件组织形式也是这样的。

iOS 将第三方程序储存在 Applications 文件夹下，各个程序的所有文件都在其 globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) 的文件下，GUID 文件夹即是程序的沙盒。

 

􀀁 Documents: Your application stores its data in Documents, with the exception of NSUserDefaults-based preference settings.

􀀁 Library: NSUserDefaults-based preference settings are stored in the Library/Preferences folder.

􀀁 tmp: The tmp directory offers a place where your application can store temporary files. Files written into /tmp will not be backed up by iTunes when your iOS device syncs, but your application does need to take responsibility for deleting the files in /tmp once they are no longer needed, to avoid filling up the file system.

 

Getting the Documents Directory

Here’s some code to retrieve the path to the Documents directory:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

 

Getting the tmp Directory

NSString *tempPath = NSTemporaryDirectory();
