It's just not that hard to do this sort of thing without resorting to
interfaces that might break each time there's a software update.
Now the
original poster has two examples.
Is the format of output from commandline utilities guaranteed across
software updates? I'm sure jkh has made statements to the effect that
they are not :o)
Am I ever going to guarantee you an API that won't ever break? No. No
one can; there is no one person who makes all the engineering
decisions at Apple. All I can do is point you in a direction of less
risk of you needing to do additional code maintenance in the future.
