1、基础常量參考 Foundation
Constants Reference （下面仅选出经常使用的部分，完整列表可点击此行标题转入官网链接）

NSNotFound

定义一个值，用于指示请求项找不到或不存在。

Defines a value that indicates that an item requested couldn’t be found or doesn’t exist.

enum {

   NSNotFound = NSIntegerMax

};

NSEnumerationOptions

块枚举操作的选项。

Options for Block enumeration operations.

enum {

   NSEnumerationConcurrent = (1UL << 0),

   NSEnumerationReverse = (1UL << 1),

};

typedef NSUInteger NSEnumerationOptions;

NSComparisonResult

这些常量用于指示请求中的条目怎样排序。

These constants are used to indicate how items in a request are ordered.

enum {

   NSOrderedAscending = -1,

   NSOrderedSame,

   NSOrderedDescending

};

typedef NSInteger NSComparisonResult;

NSSortOptions

块排序操作的选项。

Options for Block sorting operations.

enum {

   NSSortConcurrent = (1UL << 0),

   NSSortStable = (1UL << 4),

};

typedef NSUInteger NSSortOptions;

NSSearchPathDirectory

这些常量指定了各种文件夹位置，用于方法 URLsForDirectory:inDomains: 和 URLForDirectory:inDomain:appropriateForURL:create:error: NSFileManager 。

These constants specify the location of a variety of directories by the URLsForDirectory:inDomains: andURLForDirectory:inDomain:appropriateForURL:create:error: NSFileManager methods.

enum {

   NSApplicationDirectory = 1,

   NSDemoApplicationDirectory,

   NSDeveloperApplicationDirectory,

   NSAdminApplicationDirectory,

   NSLibraryDirectory,

   NSDeveloperDirectory,

   NSUserDirectory,

   NSDocumentationDirectory,

   NSDocumentDirectory,

   NSCoreServiceDirectory,

   NSAutosavedInformationDirectory = 11,

   NSDesktopDirectory = 12,

   NSCachesDirectory = 13,

   NSApplicationSupportDirectory = 14,

   NSDownloadsDirectory = 15,

   NSInputMethodsDirectory = 16,

   NSMoviesDirectory = 17,

   NSMusicDirectory = 18,

   NSPicturesDirectory = 19,

   NSPrinterDescriptionDirectory = 20,

   NSSharedPublicDirectory = 21,

   NSPreferencePanesDirectory = 22,

   NSItemReplacementDirectory = 99,

   NSAllApplicationsDirectory = 100,

   NSAllLibrariesDirectory = 101,

};

typedef NSUInteger NSSearchPathDirectory;

NSInteger and NSUInteger Maximum and Minimum Values

代表 NSInteger 和 NSUInteger 的最大值和最小值的常量。

Constants representing the maximum and minimum values of NSInteger and NSUInteger.

#define NSIntegerMax    LONG_MAX

#define NSIntegerMin    LONG_MIN

#define NSUIntegerMax   ULONG_MAX

2、基础数据类型參考 Foundation
Data Types Reference （下面仅选出经常使用的部分，完整列表可点击此行标题转入官网链接）

NSInteger

用于描写叙述一个整型。（这个不是一个类，而是一个宏定义，是 C 长整型的别名）

Used to describe an integer.

typedef long NSInteger;

NSUInteger

用于描写叙述一个无符号整型。（这个也不是一个类，而是一个宏定义，是 C 无符号长整型的别名）

Used to describe an unsigned integer.

typedef unsigned long NSUInteger;

NSTimeInterval

用于指定一个时间间隔，单位秒。

Used to specify a time interval, in seconds.

下面这句原文，后半句关于毫秒部分的精度，没太明确，有懂得帮准确翻译一下，在此谢过。

NSTimeInterval is always specified in seconds;
it yields sub-millisecond precision over a range of 10,000 years.

typedef double NSTimeInterval;

NSUncaughtExceptionHandler

用于处理异常处理域之外的异常。也即系统无法捕获的异常，配合 XCode 做异常跟踪非常实用处。

Used for the function handling exceptions outside of an exception-handling domain.

typedef volatile void NSUncaughtExceptionHandler(NSException *exception);

NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler

Changes the top-level error handler.

void NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler (

   NSUncaughtExceptionHandler *

);

声明全局异常处理函数，它就是 NSUncaughtExceptionHandler *

void UncaughtExceptionHandler(NSException *exception) {

    // 获取异常相关信息

    NSArray *callStackSymbols = [exception callStackSymbols];

    NSString *callStackSymbolStr = [callStackSymbols componentsJoinedByString:@"\n"];

    NSString *reason = [exception reason];

    NSString *name = [exception name];

    // 获取系统当前时间

    NSDate * date = [NSDate date];

    NSDateFormatter * dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init ];

    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy年MM月dd日 HH小时mm分ss秒"];

    NSString * dateStr = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];

    NSLog(@"系统当前时间为：%@ \n",dateStr);

    NSLog(@"异常名称：%@ \n",name);

    NSLog(@"异常原因：%@ \n",reason);

    NSLog(@"堆栈标志：%@ \n",callStackSymbolStr);

}

在应用适当初始化位置为系统设置该回调函数指针，AppDelegate 完毕启动方法中比較适合：

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler(&UncaughtExceptionHandler);

NSStringEncoding

该类型代表字符串编码值。

Type representing string-encoding values.

typedef NSUInteger NSStringEncoding;

String Encodings

下面常量由 NSString 提供，作用可用的字符串编码。

The following constants are provided by NSString as possible string encodings.

enum {

   NSASCIIStringEncoding = 1,

   。。。

   NSUTF8StringEncoding = 4,

   。。。

   NSUnicodeStringEncoding = 10,

   。。。

   NSProprietaryStringEncoding = 65536

};

以上节选一部分经常使用的，从上面的链接，能够查看苹果官方文档完整部分。

可是，你会发现没有 GB2312、GBK 等编码，这个能够通过核心基础框架来解决，在基础框架中并未提供对应的编码。

CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding

Returns the Cocoa encoding constant that maps most closely to a given Core Foundation encoding constant.

unsigned long CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding (

   CFStringEncoding encoding

);

CFStringConvertNSStringEncodingToEncoding

Returns the Core Foundation encoding constant that is the closest mapping to a given Cocoa encoding.

CFStringEncoding CFStringConvertNSStringEncodingToEncoding (

   unsigned long encoding

);

CFStringEncoding

An integer type for constants used to specify supported string encodings in various CFString functions.

typedef UInt32 CFStringEncoding;

External String Encodings

CFStringEncoding 常量用于可能被 CFString 支持的编码。 CFStringEncoding constants for encodings that may be supported by CFString.

enum {

   。。。

   kCFStringEncodingGB_2312_80 = 0x0630,

   kCFStringEncodingGBK_95 = 0x0631,

   kCFStringEncodingGB_18030_2000 = 0x0632,

   。。。

   kCFStringEncodingBig5 = 0x0A03,

   。。。

   kCFStringEncodingHZ_GB_2312 = 0x0A05,

   。。。

};

kCFStringEncodingGB_18030_2000 是 GB 编码的最大集合，能够使用这个，用例如以下方式：

NSStringEncoding gbencoding = CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding(kCFStringEncodingGB_18030_2000);

3、基础框架參考 Foundation
Framework Reference

这一部分是重点要掌握的，包含基类、二进制类、日期时区及本地化类、数值类、字符串类、字符集合类、枚举类、基本类型格式化及搜索类、集合类、错误与异常类、键值编码类、通知类、过滤和正則表達式类、XML
和 JSON 解析、撤销与重做、定时器类、线程同步类、线程安全类、线程通讯类、网络类、文件
之偏好设置即用户默认设置类、文件之应用包及沙盒管理类、文件之归档与串行化类、文件之流类、蓝牙点对点通讯类、其他用得不多的少许类。

4、基础函数參考 Foundation
Functions Reference

Assertions

For additional information about Assertions, see Assertions and Logging Programming Guide.

Bundles

For additional information on generating strings files see “Using Strings Files for User-Facing Text” in Internationalization
Programming Topics.

Byte Ordering

Decimals

You can also use the class NSDecimalNumber for
decimal arithmetic.

Exception Handling

You can find the following macros implemented in NSException.h. They are obsolete and should not be used. See Exception
Programming Topics for information on how to handle exceptions.

Managing Object Allocation and Deallocation

Interacting with the Objective-C Runtime

Logging Output

NSLog
NSLogv

Managing File Paths

Managing Ranges

Uncaught Exception Handlers

Whether there’s an uncaught exception handler function, any uncaught exceptions cause the program to terminate, unless the exception is raised during the posting of a notification.

Core Foundation ARC Integration

CFBridgingRetain
CFBridgingRelease

Managing Memory

Managing Zones

Zones are ignored on iOS and 64-bit runtime on OS X. You should not use zones in current development.
