The following commands are used to manipulate plist data:
Help Prints this information.
Exit Exits the program. Changes are not saved to the file.
Save Saves the current changes to the file.
Revert Reloads the last saved version of the file.
Clear type Clears out all existing entries, and creates root of type type. See below for a list of types.
Print [entry]
Prints value of entry. If an entry is not specified, prints entire file. See below for an explanation of how entry works.
Set entry value

Add entry type [value]
Adds entry with type type and optional value value. See below for a list of types.
Copy entrySrc entryDst
Copies the entrySrc property to entryDst.
Delete entry
Deletes entry from the plist.
Merge file [entry]
Adds the contents of plist file to entry.
Import entry file
Creates or sets entry to the contents of file.
Entries consist of property key names delimited by colons. Array items are specified by a zero-based integer index. Examples:
:CFBundleShortVersionString
:CFBundleDocumentTypes:2:CFBundleTypeExtensions
Entries may be of the following types:
string
array
dict
bool
real
integer
date
data
OPTIONS
-c command Execute command and exit. By default, PlistBuddy will run in interactive mode.
-x Output will be in the form of an xml plist where appropriate.

EXAMPLES

Set :CFBundleIdentifier com.apple.plistbuddy
Add the CFBundleGetInfoString property to the plist:
Add :CFBundleGetInfoString string "App version 1.0.1"
Add a new item of type dict to the CFBundleDocumentTypes array:
Add :CFBundleDocumentTypes: dict
Add the new item to the beginning of the array:
Add :CFBundleDocumentTypes:0 dict
Delete the FIRST item in the array:
Delete :CFBundleDocumentTypes:0 dict
Delete the ENTIRE CFBundleDocumentTypes array:
