"Fullscreen" just means that you cover the entire screen with your
window. In this case, covering all screens. There's no need for a
special API (although special APIs are available), just make a
standard NSWindow, set its frame to cover all the screens, make sure
that it contains what you want, and you're good.
For more specific guidance, NSScreen can be used to find out where all
the screens are, NSBorderlessWindowMask will give you a window with no
title bar or other distracting decorations, and
NSApplicationDidChangeScreenParametersNotification will tell you if
the configuration of the screens changed so you can re-position your
window.
