I am trying to compile a list of bundled files under Mac OS X. Such examples are standard applications (.app), and RTFD files. Also, kernel extensions (.kext) seem to be bundled files also. What other examples are available? Installer packages, maybe? I am trying to write a program which separates a standard directory verses those files which are meant to appear as one file under Mac OS X.

IIRC:

If There's a package flag in the Finder or Folder Info.

or

If there's a PkgInfo file

or

If there's an Info.plist which states so (not sure about this one).

then

it's a package.

Using the extension is a bit limiting since you would need to add:

.nib
.pbproj
.xcode
.pkg
.mpkg

and so on...
