I’ve done that, Damien, but like Norman I have wondered why the job’s parameters are not more readily available.  From a shell, you can run launchctl with the subcommand info, and pass the job’s label.  It gives you most of the plist, but not all.  WatchPath is one key I recall which is not included.  And, sadly, I don’t think there is any C API equivalent of launchctl.
