Re: Editing the com.apple.internetconfig.plist file via CLI

Title: Re: Editing the com.apple.internetconfig.plist file via CLI
From the man pages of the default command;
write domain 'plist'
              Overwrites the defaults information in domain with that given as
              plist.  plist must be a property list representation of a dictionary,
              and must be enclosed in single quotes.  For example:

                    defaults write com.companyname.appname '{ "Default Color" = (255, 0, 0);
                                                    "Default Font" = Helvetica; }';

              erases any previous defaults for com.companyname.appname and
              writes the values for the two names into the defaults system.



The {} as far as I know just indicate enclosing statement/nest, the ; indicates new line and “” indicates a null value (or an attempt to a null value).
