# libplist
*A small portable C library to handle Apple Property List files in binary or XML
format.*
## Features
The project provides an interface to read and write plist files in binary or
XML format alongside a command-line utility named `plistutil`.
- **Formats:** Supports binary and XML format
- **Utility:** Provides a `plistutil` utility for the command-line
- **Python:** Provides Cython based bindings for Python
- **Tested:** Uses fuzzing and data compliance tests
- **Efficient:** Lean library with performance and resources in mind
## Installation / Getting started
### Debian / Ubuntu Linux
First install all required dependencies and build tools:
```shell
sudo apt-get install \
build-essential \
checkinstall \
git \
autoconf \
automake \
libtool-bin
```
If you want to optionally build the documentation or Python bindings use:
```shell
sudo apt-get install \
doxygen \
cython
```
Then clone the actual project repository:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libplist.git
cd libplist
```
Now you can build and install it:
```shell
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
```
## Usage
Then simply run:
```shell
plistutil -i foobar.plist -o output.plist
```
This converts the `foobar.plist` file to the opposite format, e.g. binary to
XML or vice versa, and outputs it to the `output.plist` file.
Please consult the usage information or manual page for a full documentation of
available command line options:
```shell
plistutil --help
man plistutil
```
