About:
Gfxutil is a command-line utility designed to convert Device Property (DevProp) strings between human-readable formats and the hexadecimal strings used by bootloaders like Clover and OpenCore. It is essential for generating and debugging hardware-specific configuration data required for macOS customization and Hackintosh setups.

Key Features:

Converts hex DevProp strings to readable XML/text format
Generates hex strings from property lists for bootloader injection
Lightweight command-line interface for scripting and automation
Supports the latest OpenCore and Clover bootloader standards

Use Cases:

Generating EFI device properties for graphics card injection (e.g., GPU patching)
Debugging existing bootloader configurations by decoding hex strings
Automating system setup scripts for Hackintosh builds

Alternatives:

OpenCore Configurator – GUI-based tool that includes property generation, whereas Gfxutil is a focused CLI utility.
Clover Configurator – Similar GUI approach for older bootloader standards, less suited for automated workflows.
