LaunchServices is the OS X equivalent of the desktop database. The
functions in LaunchServices.h are reasonably self-explanatory. You
may find my 'launch' utility useful as it exposes virtually all the
functionality of LaunchServices from the command line:
<

Source code (BSDish license) is included. Some examples of its use
with application signatures (creators):
% launch -nc prvw
/Applications/Preview.app
% launch -c prvw appswitch.pdf
[Preview opens the PDF document]
