Since NSFileManager has no capabilities of returning the size of a

one swoop.
For a directory, call FSGetCatalogInfo, and ask for the valence.
Heed the warning about the cost of computing this for volume
formats which don't natively store this information.

I think I may have mis-interpreted your question. I thought you
wanted to know how many files+folders were contained in a folder. If
you want to know how much space (logical or physical) they take on
disk, iterating (using on API set or another) is your only option.
