Discussion

Initializes the receiver, a newly allocated NSString object, by reading data from the location named by aURL. If the contents begin with a byte-order mark (U+FEFF or U+FFFE), interprets the contents as UTF-16 code units; otherwise interprets the contents as data in the default C string encoding. Returns an initialized object, which might be different from the original receiver, or nil if the location can’t be opened.
