If you want to do it fast, without shell output parsing, and in a way
that will work on 10.4 *and* 10.5, use the Directory Services C API.
The downside is that it's more complex than many of the Cocoa APIs
you're likely used to.

Lots of source to learn from (the dscl sources are a good place to
look for examples):

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to access the netinfo DB from cocoa.
Specifically the sharing (AFP, SMB, etc).
Pointers or ideas are much appreciated.
Hello,
Quick question: Are you using Leopard or Tiger machines? On Tiger,
you can run the commands "niultil" or "nicl" to query the NetInfo
database from your application. Note that in Leopard, Netinfo has
been completely deprecated in favor of a local LDAP database. So, if
you are using Leopard, run the command "dscl" from your application.
In either case, you'll have to parse the command results in your app.
On Tiger, the path you want to query is...
/config/SharePoints/
On Leopard, the path you want to query is...
/Local/Default/SharePoints
hope that helps,
Jaime Magiera
