Checking whether Spotlight indexing is enabled for a volume

Hi,

Is there any way to see if a volume has Spotlight indexing enabled short of calling mdutil via NSTask and parsing the results? I can't find anything in the docs that would return this information. What API is mdutil calling to get this info?

I would have thought this was a very common request, it doesn't make sense to go to the trouble of creating an NSMetadataQuery if it is always going to return an empty result because indexing is disabled.
