TollFreeBridging is what allows you to take CoreFoundation types and typecast them to Cocoa types (and vice versa).

So, if you have to call a CoreFoundation function that takes a CFString, but you have an NSString, you can just pass it your NSString with:

 

CFStringRef myCFString = (CFStringRef)someNSString;

And if you need to get an NSString from a CFString, you can do this:

 

NSString* myNSString = (NSString*)someCFString;
