新建一个plist文件
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy Info.plist
$ Command: save
$ Command: exit

用户文件夹下找到创建的Info.plist
添加：
添加普通字段

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Version string 1.0’ Info.plist


添加数组字段，分两步：
注意：key之间用 : 隔开 不能有空格

# 先添加key值
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Application array’ Info.plist
# 添加value值
$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Application: string app1’ Info.plist
$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Application: string app2’ Info.plist
$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Application: string app3’ Info.plist


添加字典字段，分两步：
# 先添加key值
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Person dict’ Info.plist
# 添加value值,
$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Person:Age string secret’ Info.plist
$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Person:Name string Xuan’ Info.plist
$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Person:sex string boy’ Info.plist
$ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Add :Person:weight string 65’ Info.plist



添加字典字段

查看plist内容
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c “print” Info.plist


查看字段内容
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Print :Person’ Info.plist

查看特定下标的值
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Print :Application:2’ Info.plist

删除特定字段值
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Delete :Version’ Info.plist


修改特定字段值
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Set :Application:1 “this is app1”’ Info.plist


# 将A.plist 合并到 B.plist中
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c ‘Merge A.plist’ B.plist


若两个plist文件中与相同的键值，终端中会提示B.plist中有重复的键值，默认跳过该键值的合并
