I think what you’re saying is you want a single code-path for writing to a file 
and writing to stdout?

One way to do that is to use the pseudo-file /dev/stdout — anything written to 
that ‘file’ actually goes to stdout. But make sure not to use the ‘atomically’ 
option or NSString will actually write to a temp file and then try to move that 
file to /dev/stdout, which of course won’t work.
