Any idea, how I might do this using ObjC or Cocoa?
Don't. Cocoa is primarily useful for creating GUI applications.
I don't believe this is an accurate characterization of Cocoa.
Cocoa contains at least two larger frameworks, the foundation
framework and the AppKit. I think you would be safe saying that the
AppKit is primarily useful for creating GUI applications, but the
foundation frameworks are good for creating command line tools as well.
Of course that is neither here nor there as far Stefan's cross
platform concerns go. :-) Both the AppKit and Foundation frameworks
are largely Mac OS X only. The only nod that I'm aware of to cross
platform compatibility is the GNUStep frameworks and I doubt they
will be of much help.
