Re: diskutil_info handler (Was: UUID)

calling

   diskutil_info("/")

will give you a record of all the information diskutil -info returns.

Handy.  I would have done it with -plist, I think, rather than trying to parse the output of the non-plist form...

   while (<>) {
       chomp;
       next if /^$/;
       s/^\\s+//;
       s/\\s+$//;
       if (s/^(\\w[^:]+?)\\s*:\\s*//) {
           $last_key= $1;
           $info{ $last_key }= $_;
           next;
       }
       $info{ $last_key }.= qq(\\n).$_ if $last_key;

That can be simplified to two regex matches instead of four:

while (<>) {
    if (/^\\s*(\\w[^:]+?)\\s*:\\s*(.*?)\\s*$/)
    {
          $info{$last_key=$1} = $2;
          next;
    }
    elseif ($last_key && /\S/)
    {
           chomp( $info{$last_key} .= qq(\\n) . $_ );
     }
}
