hdiutil: Mount an image.
$ hdiutil attach ${path-to-image_file}
try on your machine
The command "hdiutil attach ${path-to-image_file}" is used to mount a disk image file on a macOS system. Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "hdiutil" stands for "hard disk image utility" and is a command-line tool in macOS used to manipulate disk images.
- "attach" is an option that tells hdiutil to attach or mount the disk image file.
- "${path-to-image_file}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the disk image file you want to mount. You should replace it with the specific path of the disk image file on your system.
So, when you run this command with the correct path to a disk image file, it will mount (attach) that disk image, making its contents accessible and visible in the macOS Finder or through the command line.
