How to access all files and folders names that contain string "xyz" in Cocoa

Question

If I give the string xyz, the program should search all files and folders from the whole harddisk that contain the string xyz in name. How to write code for this in Cocoa using Xcode and Objective-C in MAC OS? Please help me.
