Nice Robert. Thanks.

I’m wondering if there is a way to avoid a hard-coded path ( in standard file manipulation with constants such as _kUserDomain etc. but possible there is another method ). Clearly, the BSD open takes a pointer to an array of char ( essentially a pointer to a C string ) to return the file descriptor.
