Off Topic – PlistBuddy in a pkg

[mgb123]

Does anyone have any good primers on how to use Plist Buddy in a pkg as a part of a script?

That much I’d figured out – but as far as how to actually use PlistBuddy – I’m suuuuuper ignorant. (Like, silly sad puppy dog eyes ignorant.) I’ve been searching for tutorials, but I’m coming up a little dry in terms of something I can actually wrap my head around…

I feel your pain, sorry, not many available. however, examples here:

-c says non-interactive mode
Print is good for echoing to standard out(plutil is even nicer)

You can also man PlistBuddy to learn about all it’s options and switches

On my system there is no manpage for plistbuddy. But /usr/libexec/plistbuddy –help works.
