dmgbuild
is a command line tool to create macOS disk images (aka .dmg
files). While it is possible to create disk images easily enough from the command line using the hdiutil
program that ships with macOS, there is no easy way to configure the appearance of the resulting disk image when the user opens it.
dmgbuild
allows for full customization of the resulting disk image, without relying on Finder, and without using deprecated APIs (like the Alias Manager functions).
dmgbuild
is a wrapper around macOS specific tools, so it can't be used on Windows or Linux.
