Hi, looking for cmdline disk cataloging tools? Something that will view and list dmg and zip contents as well as other files.

I know there are gui utilities like Disk Tracker that do some of this, but a shell script might work better for me.

For .dmg and other disk images I think there is no other way to see their contents than to mount them before. A shell script could mount and unmount them on the fly with hdiutil.

For .zip files there is for example "unzip -l <zipfile>", for other archive formats there are commandline tools with list options as well.

For .sit there's nothing I know of than Aladdin's GUI tools.
