I'm new to darwin build and just ran through the installation steps.
In doing so I encountered something a wee confusing.
At
http://opendarwin.org/projects/darwinbuild/doc/tools/index.html#install
the line
hdiutil create -size 4g -type UDIF -fs HFSX -volname Builds \
-uid 0 -gid 0 -attach Builds.dmg
includes a \ after '-volname Builds'.
If this line is typed in to the shell, hdiutil throws an error stating
only one volume name can be specified.
Removing the \ causes all to work well.
This may not be the right place to report this, so my apologies in
advance if it isn't. :)

It's not a bug, nor is it a feature. The backslash is a common
documentation trick when a line is too long and needs a visual break;
It indicates "type all this in."
Cheers,
Scott
