Well, there is a short answer. And a long answer

The short: Foundation tools are traditional Unix tools, simply an executable that sits in your file system

The long: May applications have a GUI part, and a foundation tools somewhere in the bundle. The collect user Input from the user in the GUI, and then calls the foundation tool in its bundle with arguments.

In that case, the foundation tool WILL find the bundle, even if not called from the GUI. I have taken the liberty to write a short sample project:

https://github.com/below/FoundationGUI

Hope this helps

Alex

Are (Foundation) tools created by Xcode flat files, like traditional Unix tools? Or are they bundles? If flat files, can they be made into bundles with some project tweaks?
