This document contains notes to myself for reference later.
Can use the dscl binary, or the OpenDirectory framework.
Some examples of using dscl:
Get all user accounts on the machine
/usr/bin/dscl -plist localhost readall /Local/Default/Users UniqueID RecordName RealName NFSHomeDirectory HomeDirectory IsHiddenGet user accounts in the admin group
/usr/bin/dscl -plist localhost read /Local/Default/Groups/admin GroupMembershipSome examples of using OpenDirectory:
import OpenDirectory
let session = ODSession.default()
let node = try ODNode(session: session, name: "/Local/Default")
let query = try ODQuery(
node: node,
forRecordTypes: kODRecordTypeUsers,
attribute: nil,
matchType: 0,
queryValues: nil,
returnAttributes: nil,
maximumResults: 0
)
let results = try query.resultsAllowingPartial(false)
for result in results {
dump(result)

// Extension that makes it a breeze to create a logger that is

let subsystem = Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier!
let category = String(describing: type)
self.init(subsystem: subsystem, category: category)

// Example usage 👇
struct MyStruct {

func performOperation() {
logger.info("Performing operation...")
// ...
logger.info("Did perform operation.")
