That's a good table to know/have handy. Thanks.
Okay, so LaunchServices is out as well. Is there *any* reliable way to
know if a directory is a bundle or package without using NSWorkspace
or LaunchServices? (I'm also going to have to omit Spotlight, since I
can't be guaranteed it's enabled
Does the target directory require privilege to see, or does
it just happen to be used by a privileged tool?
If the latter, you could always rely on a 2nd executable
(without privilege) to examine the directory and return its
results to your privileged program.

That's the hang-up. The target directory may require privilege to see.

Hey all,
I'm writing a privileged helper tool that at one point needs to
determine if a given directory is a package. Normally, I'd use
NSWorkspace, but that's part of AppKit, which is tied to Window
