I was only looking at:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSFileManager_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSFileManager/contentsAtPath: >

Which fails to mention the note seen in NSFileManager.h. I'll file a docs bug. Thanks for the heads-up.

Don't forget that many of Apple's own methods return nil on failure and
don't implement an NSError reference mechanism. NSFileManager's
-contentsAtPath: method returns either an NSData object on success or nil on
failure.

Which is why the comments on that method recommend using +[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:options:error:] instead.
