NSWorkspace

An NSWorkspace object responds to application requests to perform a variety of services:

• Opening, manipulating, and obtaining information about files and devices

• Tracking changes to the file system, devices, and the user database

• Getting and setting Finder information for files.

• Launching applications

There is one shared NSWorkspace object per application. You use the class method sharedWorkspace to access it. For example, the following statement uses an NSWorkspace object to request that a file be opened in the TextEdit application:

[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openFile:@"/Myfiles/README"

withApplication:@"TextEdit"];
