[UTI] Anyway to retrieve the UTI of a file without having to use a FSRef?

From what I've found in the documentation, the UTI type of a file can be retrieved using the LaunchServices APIs. This requires to provide a FSRef.

Wouldn't there be an API I didn't see in Foundation that lets you obtain the type without having to convert, at least, a NSURL to a FSRef?

I'm mainly interested in finding the type of a text file (txt, html, rtfd, rtf) from its path.

Mac OS X 10.5.
