plist4r¶ ↑

Plist4r is a friendly rubygem / ruby lib for handling plist files.

• Documentation at dreamcat4.github.com/plist4r

gem install plist4r

require 'plist4r'

Plist4r::Config.default_path = "/Library/LaunchDaemons"
filename = "com.github.myservice.plist"
p = Plist4r.open(filename)

p.plist_type
# => :launchd

p.file_format
# => :xml

p.edit do
  program_arguments ["/usr/local/bin/myservice"]
  watch_paths ["/var/db/myservice"]
end

p.save

• For convenience we invoke {Plist4r.open} and {Plist4r.new} to initially create a plist object.

• And use {Plist4r::Config} to set any global configuration defaults.

• See {file:Backends} for the backends performance data.
