Specified in OpenStep to be raised by NSArchiver or subclasses if there are problems initializing or encoding. Not currently used. NSInternalInconsistencyException usually raised instead.

Notification posted when a bundle is loaded. The notification object is the NSBundle itself. The notification also contains a userInfo dictionary, containing the single key ' NSLoadedClasses ', mapped to an NSArray containing the names of each class and category loaded (as strings).

When an NSBundle loads classes and posts a NSBundleDidLoadNotification, its userInfo dictionary contains this key, mapped to an NSArray containing the names of each class and category loaded (as strings).

A user default affecting the behavior of [NSBundle -localizedStringForKey:value:table:] . If set, the value of the key will be returned as an uppercase string rather than any localized equivalent found. This can be useful during development to check where a given string in the UI is "coming from".

Posted by [NSClassDescription +classDescriptionForClass:] when a class description cannot be found for a class. The implementation will check again after the notification is (synchronously) processed, allowing descriptions to be registered lazily.

Posted when an NSConnection is deallocated or it is notified its port is deactivated. (Note, connections to remote ports don't get such a notification.) Receivers should deregister themselves for notifications from the given connection.

Posted when an NSConnection is initialized.

Exception raised by NSPort , NSConnection , and friends if sufficient time elapses while waiting for a response, or if the receiving port is invalidated before a request can be received. See [NSConnection -setReplyTimeout:] .

An exception used when an illegal range is encountered... usually this is used to provide more information than an invalid argument exception.

Notification posted when an instance of NSPort or a subclass becomes invalid.

Run loop mode used to deal with input sources other than NSConnections or dialog windows. Most commonly used. Defined in Foundation/NSRunLoop.h.

Notification posted when an NSTask terminates, either due to the subprocess ending or the [NSTask -terminate] method explicitly being called.

Notification posted whenever a new thread is started up. This is a GNUstep extension.

Notification posted when an NSThread instance receives an exit message, or an external thread has been deregistered.

Notification posted the first time a new NSThread is created or a separate thread from another library is registered in an application. (The initial thread that a program starts with does not post this notification.) Before such a notification has been posted you can assume the application is in single-threaded mode and locks are not necessary. Afterwards multiple threads may be running.
