- Use PLIST_OPT_COERCE option to coerce PLIST_BOOLEAN, PLIST_DATE, PLIST_UID, and PLIST_NULL to OpenStep-compatible types (1 or 0, ISO 8601 strings, integers, and 'NULL' string)
- Add plist_to_openstep_with_options() function to allow passing coercion option (and others)
- Update plist_write_to_string() and plist_write_to_stream() accordingly
- Add PLIST_OPT_COERCE option to coerce PLIST_DATE, PLIST_DATA, and PLIST_UID to JSON-compatible types (ISO 8601 strings, Base64 strings, and integers)
- Add plist_to_json_with_options() function to allow passing coercion options (and others)
- Update plist_write_to_string() and plist_write_to_stream() to support coercion option
- Add --coerce flag to plistutil for JSON output
- Create plist2json symlink that automatically enables coercion when invoked
plist_read_from_file() is a convenience function that will open a
given file, checks its size, allocates a buffer large enough to
hold the full contents, and reads from file to fill the buffer.
Then, it calls plist_from_memory() to convert the data to plist
format.
A (breaking) change had to be made so that plist_from_memory() will
also return the parsed format in its 4th argument (if non-NULL).
This commit introduces constants for the different plist formats,
and adds 3 new human-readable output-only formats:
- PLIST_FORMAT_PRINT: the default human-readable format
- PLIST_FORMAT_LIMD: "libimobiledevice" format (used in ideviceinfo)
- PLIST_FORMAT_PLUTIL: plutil-style format
Also, a new set of write functions has been added:
- plist_write_to_string
- plist_write_to_stream
- plist_write_to_file
Plus a simple "dump" function:
- plist_print
See documentation for details.
As pointed out in #87 plistutil would do a memcmp with a heap buffer
without checking the size. If the size is less than 8 it would read
beyond the bounds of this heap buffer. This commit prevents that.
