Although the AppKit supports UTIs, but I couldn't find a way to
generate pasteboard type for 'hfs'.
So, probably for this, I think Carbon functions should be used.
I previously offered a solution for this problem. I wrote:
If you have a four char code that you need to represent as a UTI, you
can do the conversion using the functions in UTType.h.
These are neither Carbon nor Cocoa functions, but part of the Launch
Services framework/API.
Among other things, this API set lets you convert between UTI,
filename extension, mime type, four character code, and NSPasteboard
type.
UTTypeCreatePreferredIdentifierForTag is where you should start. (But
familiarizing yourself with, and understanding, the API in that header
will be beneficial if you find yourself needed to convert between UTI
and the various tag classes.)
By the way, can the Pasteboard type and NSPasteboard be intermixed
like CFStringRef and NSString?
No. They are not toll-free bridged.
