I'm trying to implement some command-line functionality that will retrieve the path to the icon for a specified file type, and I'm having trouble locating the correct API in Cocoa.

As I read it, the iconForFileType and related methods form NSWorkspace returns an NSImage. I don't want an NSImage. I want the path to the 'icns' file that the iconForFileType NSImage is based on.

Looking through various docs, I see that the 'lsregister -dump' command seems to have the functionality I want, but the output of that command is a swamp.

Am I missing something in Cocoa here? Can anyone suggest an alternative API/class/method to me?
