There's no "out of the box" solution for what you want to do. You would need to use the directoryContentsAtPath: method to get a list of all the objects in the root directory, then loop through those objects, examining the directory contents of each one.

The directoryContentsAtPath: method returns a list of directories and files, so you'll need to use something like fileExistsAtPath:isDirectory: in your loop to make sure you only look inside directories.
