I am porting an app to Mac OS X (well, actually someone else has

I have an NSString with a filename in it that I need to pass to the
portable code as a char *. The portable code will then pass it to
UNIX file handling functions like fopen().
I guess that I need to use NSString's
getCString:maxLength:encoding: method, but what should I pass for
the encoding parameter? Phrased another way, what encoding does
fopen() expect filenames to be in?
The correct thing to do would be to use:
-[NSString fileSystemRepresentation]

[NSString fileSystemRepresentation] works great, thanks to all who
replied.
