Bill of Materials

macOS Bill of Materials (BOM) files are created when a user installs an application using the builtin package installer on macOS. BOM files contain metadata associated with the install application.

Collection

You have to use the artemis api in order to parse BOM data.

Sample API Script

import { parseBom } from "./artemis-api/mod";

function main() {
  const path = "path to bom file";
  const results = parseBom(path);
  console.log(results);
}
