About:
Osxutils is a collection of command-line utilities for macOS that extend the functionality of the native operating system. It includes tools for file management, metadata inspection, and system interaction that are not available in the standard Unix toolset. This package provides a convenient way to access these macOS-specific capabilities from the terminal.

Key Features:

File metadata manipulation
Finder integration utilities
macOS-specific file operations
Command-line interface for system features

Use Cases:

Batch processing of file metadata
Automating Finder operations via CLI
Extracting macOS-specific file attributes

Alternatives:

mdls – Native macOS command for metadata, but less comprehensive than osxutils
exiftool – Cross-platform metadata tool, more focused on EXIF data than macOS attributes
