Other have answered your primary question, I just want to address this
last bit. The -fileSystemRepresentation method exists precisely for
this. It gives you a C string encoded properly (using UTF-8, to be
specific) so that the string can be passed to POSIX functions which
expect a path. You can bet that the Cocoa solutions given will
eventually call down to mkdir() or another similar function which also
takes a C string. That said, if you prefer the Cocoa solution there's
no reason not to use it, just be aware that you can easily use the C
functions yourself as well.
