"-puppetstrings provide progress output that is easy for another program to parse. Any program trying to interpret hdiutil's progress should use -puppetstrings." I have an application that using hdiutil to create disk images. But I don't know how to get the disk image creation progress. The user needs to know the progress, especially when they create a big size disk images, e.g. more than 1GB, that would spends minutes until finish. I have found that by using "-debug" argument, it would printout the percentage progress to the stdout. but "-debug" argument also made diskimage-helper printout the passphrase. So that, I can't give the user using "-debug" argument. Is there any way to get the percentage progress of the disk image creation? I don't know if this is the correct mailing list to ask my problem, but I really need the answer. I would be appreciated for any help. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
