Re: NSFileManager's errors in 10.5, where are they documented?

In general Cocoa classes, including NSFileManager, return errors just 
in the domain NSCocoaErrorDomain.  So all the possible errors should 
be listed in FoundationErrors.h.

However, there may of course be underlying errors; these are often in 
the POSIX domain.  Note that you can never count on the presence of 
underlying errors, and they may change between releases.
