This is an example where I find myself completely unable to find the

can give me a tip as to how I should have searched to get the answer
myself without having to bother this list, that would be greatly
appreciated as well :-)
First rule of problem reporting: tell us what you tried. Since you
didn't, here's my approach to searching in general for topics where
I'm not sure where to start:
* full-text search in the Xcode documentation window
* search of the list archives via cocoabuilder.com
* Google search targeted at developer.apple.com, e.g., "prevent
sleep site:developer.apple.com"
* AppKiDo (my app), which is actually my first choice if I think I
can guess a substring that will be in a relevant API, but sometimes I
can't. You can also do substring API search in Xcode.
