How did you find this out? :-) There are several "undocumented" functions
that I've discovered certain Apple MacOS X applications use using 'nm' that
I would like to have access to myself.

One set of APIs is the Apple Scheduler, which is used by the Software Update
preferences pane. It uses the following undocumented functions:

__LWSchedulerOpenItemAction
__LWRemoveSchedulerAction

How did you find out what parameters to pass? :-)

very curious,

There is this way, but it uses a private function call:

NSArray *apps = nil;

LSInit(1);
_LSCopyAllApplicationURLs(&apps);
