* Documentation at http://dreamcat4.github.com/plist4r

== Quick Start

  require 'plist4r'

  Plist4r::Config.default_path = "/Library/LaunchDaemons"
  filename = "com.github.myservice.plist"
  p = Plist4r.open(filename)

  p.plist_type
  # => :launchd

  p.edit do
    program_arguments ["/usr/local/bin/myservice"]

== Overview

* For convenience we invoke {Plist4r.open} and {Plist4r.new} to initially create a plist object.

* And use {Plist4r::Config} to set any global configuration defaults.

* See {file:Backends} for the backends performance data.
