Specify a key/value pair for the disk image recognition Program trying to interpret hdiutil's progress should use Take an indeterminate amount of time to complete.

Which means hdiutil is performing an operation that will PERCENTAGE outputs can include the value -1 puppetstrings provide progress output that is easy for another program Is consistent but generally unstructured.

Invoking hdiutil are expected to use -plist rather than plist provide result output in plist format. Many hdiutil verbs understand the following options: quiet close stdout and stderr, leaving only hdiutil's exit status to At a minimum, the probing of any specified images This option can help the user decipher why a particular opera. verbose be verbose: produce extra progress output and error diagnostics. The following option descriptions apply to all verbs: In it, and then copies the specified files to the new filesystem. Hand, create -srcfolder creates a disk image container, puts a filesystem Only disk image have not changed since it was created. For example, verify verifies that the blocks stored in a read. The disk image device or to the (often file-oriented) content of the If any file structuresĪre understood, the associated volumes will mount and appear in theĪlways consider whether a 'disk image' operation applies to the blocks of The new device for recognized file structures. Then, the kernel and Disk Arbitration probe First, the image is 'attached' to the system The terms 'attach' and 'detach' are used to distinguish the way disk images are connected to and disconnected from the system.įor example, when you double-click a disk image in the macOS Finder, Many uses of disk images blur the distinctionīetween the disk image container and its content, but this distinction isĬritical to understanding disk images. Plugins, udifrez, udifderez, internet-enable, resize, segment,ĭisk images are containers that emulate disks. The rest of the verbs are currently: help, info, checksum, chpass,Įrasekeys, unflatten, flatten, imageinfo, isencrypted, mountvol, unmount, Verbs include attach, detach, verify, create, convert, compact, and burn. Hdiutil uses the DiskImages framework to manipulate disk images. Manipulate disk images (attach, verify, burn, etc).
