acceptable method for finding path to /usr/bin

Subject: acceptable method for finding path to /usr/bin
From: Chris Heimark <email@hidden>

My Coca application utilizes /usr/bin/tar, as a result of user interactions with my application. I run tar in an NSTask and everything works as I expect.

My questions are:

1) Is there an accepted Cocoa way to find the path to /usr/bin (and other prime BSD/Unix paths)? OR 2) Will such Unix utilities ALWAYS be found at /usr/bin, until the ends of time? (i.e. hard coding is OK)

Thanks.

Chris
