I found a problem; fixed it; and now have the info I needed.
The hdiutil imageinfo verb always returns SPRS for a .sparseimage file
(never UDSP).
This happens in both Tiger and Leopard.
The format table in Tiger shows
UDSP - SPARSE (grows with content)
and not SPRS.
SPRS seems to be undocumented.

Can anyone running Tiger confirm this? Thanks.
