If all you care about is the logical size of the datafork of a file,
NSFileManager's method attributesOfItemAtPath:error: will give you a
dictionary, but if you want to factor in the physical size, resource fork,
or extended attributes, you'll need to use a lower-level API, such as
FSGetCatalogInfo.  Note that physical size is not always returned as
expected, so search for solutions on how to handle those cases.
