iPhone SDK System Provided Buttons and Icons

Where can the System-Provided Buttons and Icons mentioned in the following link to the iPhone Developer Human Interface Guidelines be found in the SDK? http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/SystemProvided/SystemProvided.html

I expected them to show up in Interface Builder somewhere, but I haven't been able to locate them.

Whether you use only custom icons or mix custom and system-provided ones, all interface icons in your app should use a consistent size, level of detail, stroke thickness (or weight), and perspective.

Reading that link pointed me to this page¹, which under the appearance heading (as directed) I found the following quote:

In addition to custom buttons, you can configure bar button items using several standard images and titles. When a bar button item is selected, the Identifier field of the Attributes inspector lists the type of the button. Choosing a type other than Custom lets you create buttons representing standard system actions.


¹ The original resource has been 302ed by Apple since this answer was written, thus the link to an archived copy.
