Defaults utility: how to get xcode project info I have found that utility defaults can get info from .plist file.
But how can I canonically pass as parameter to it path to .plist file ?

I read about &lt;domain&gt; parameter but still don't have enough understanding of it.
If I go to project directory where .plist file of projects is placed and input command

&gt; defaults read ./Project.plist

I will see error that this domain

Domain ./Project.plist is not exists
I didn't know that the domain parameter is a full path to a file with .plist extension

So, the correct way to pass parameter domain which points to specific project is this:

&gt; defaults read ~/FULLPATHTOPROJECT/Project.plist

But I will glad to see your answers of defaults-utility best practices
