Which class methods return autoreleased objects?

Where in the documentation do you find out, whether or not a class method returns an autoreleased object?

For example, NSString has the method "stringWithFormat:", which returns an autoreleased NSString object. But when I look at the documentation, there is no mention that the object is being returned autoreleased.

The reference I used is "Foundation Reference for Objective-C", locating the "stringWithFormat:" under NSString. The documentation simply reads, "Returns a string created in the manner of localizedStringWithFormat:, but using the user’s default locale to format numbers. See 'Using Format Strings' for more information." (See <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ ObjC_classic/Classes/NSString.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000154/ stringWithFormat_>)

So how do you determine when a class method returns an autoreleased object? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
