Is there any relationship between:

- /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert, apparently a part of OS X;

- /usr/local/bin/convert, a part of ImageMagick installed through i- 
Installer?

 From the command-line, in the absence of a full path it seems the  
latter is used:

legimc11:~ brunovoisin$ which convert
/usr/local/bin/convert

and "man convert" returns the man page for it.

So yes, where in Apple's documentation can one find out about such  
things as /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert?
