Find out the working folder in a Foundation executable?

I have a console program which is linked to the Foundation framework on Mac. How do I find out the folder the executable is in?

Even though the tool is not in a bundle, you can still use some of the NSBundle methods. For example:

NSString * binaryPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] executablePath];
NSString * executableFolder = [binaryPath stringByDeletingLastPathComponent];

The first argument passed to main() ( argv[0] ) is the path to the executable itself. If you wrote said console program, you could get it that way.

What about [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]
