``dmgbuild`` is a command line tool to create Mac OS X disk images (aka ``.dmg`` files). While it is possible to create disk images easily enough from the command line using the ``hdiutil`` program that ships with Mac OS X, there is no easy way to configure the appearance of the resulting disk image when the user opens it. ``dmgbuild`` allows for full customization of the resulting disk image, without relying on Finder, and without using deprecated APIs (like the Alias Manager functions). See the documentation_ for more information. .. _documentation: http://dmgbuild.rtfd.org
