Tiger 의 Terminal 상에서 원하는 바이너리 .plist 파일을 ASCII 로 보여주고 특정 에디터로 손쉽게 편집할 수 있도록 하는 펄스크립트를 소개하고 있습니다. 세 가지 커맨드를 제공하는군요.
plcat: A simple means for viewing an ASCII representation of a binary .plist file. Basically converts a binary .plist file to ASCII and displays it directly to the screen (/dev/stdout).
plmore: A simple means for viewing an ASCII representation of a binary .plist file, one screen at a time. Similar to plcat, but "piped" to more.
pledit: A simple means for editing binary .plist files in your favorite editor (vim, naturally!), automatically keeping a backup trail of each edit. This script temporarily converts the file to ASCII, enabling easier editing. Upon finishing your edits, the file is converted back to its original compact binary format. A complete backup trail (filename.plist.OLD, filename.plist.OLD.1, etc.) is kept for your convenience.
