Synopsis

• osx_defaults allows users to read, write, and delete Mac OS X user defaults from Ansible scripts. Mac OS X applications and other programs use the defaults system to record user preferences and other information that must be maintained when the applications aren’t running (such as default font for new documents, or the position of an Info panel).
