CCL Command Reference

Note: While the CCL scripting language supported in Mac OS X v. 10.5 is substantially similar to the CCL scripting language supported in Macintosh System 7 (using Apple Remote Access) through Mac OS X v.10.4 , there are significant differences in how initialization strings and other external data are stored.

For ARA scripts (prior to Mac OS X), this information was stored in the resource fork of the script itself. In Mac OS X v.10.4 and earlier, this information must be hard-coded into the script in the appropriate places. In Mac OS X 10.5 and later, the information may be optionally placed in a property list (plist). These differences are noted where appropriate.
