Very confused about Help in Xcode. Need information on NSLog and can't find it.

So I'm offline. I want to use some type of research/help tool in Xcode Help to find out what all the "switches" are for NSLog. I know some of them:

%d is for displaying an interger
%f is for displaying a float
%@ is for displaying a textString

But what I need is the switch for displaying the variable type Fraction. (Maybe such a thing doesn't exist?)

Where can I find this in Help?

As far as Doc Sets go, I'm pretty sure I have:

Mac OS X Leopard Core Library
WebObjects Library
Xcode 3.1 Developer Tools Library
iPhone OS Library (although this one says "This Is a Partial Documentation Set")


But after running a search with all API options active (C++, Java, Obj-C), I see some information on NSLog in the document entitled "Assertions and Logging" and a few other documents, but still can't find a list of the "switches." I found NSLog listed in the document Foundation Functions Reference, but no list of of the switches.

The following I guess I haven't subscribed to yet, and hence can't access while offline:

Apple iPhone OS
Apple iPhone OS 2.1
Apple iPhone OS 2.2
Apple iPhone OS 2.2.1

Is the information I'm looking for in one of these Document Sets?

I also seem to recall there's some keyboard/mouse shortcut in Xcode that you can invoke when hovering over or after selecting a function (or method?) that takes you right to the documentation for that particular item, but I can't remember it.

It occurs to me that maybe there ISN'T a switch for fractions, since I see this line in the example code I'm studying:

NSLog (@"%i/%i", numerator, denominator)

but nevertheless, I'd still like to see a list of the available switches.

Thanks for any information.

There are no standard switches for fractions.
%@ is the switch for an Objective-C object reference.
You can find all the switches in the documentation for NSString methods
