Steps to attach a dmg disk image using hdiutil while capturing the mount point and dev entry for detaching when done

hdiutil-attach-detach.sh

#!/bin/bash

dmg_path="$1"

# use process redirection to capture the mount point and dev entry
IFS=$'\n' read -rd '\n' mount_point dev_entry < <(

	# mount the diskimage (leave out -readonly if making changes to the file system)
	hdiutil attach -readonly -plist "$dmg_path" | \

	# convert output plist to json
	plutil -convert json - -o - | \

	# extract mount point and dev entry
	jq --raw-output '
		.[] | .[] |
		select(."volume-kind" == "hfs") |
		."mount-point" + "\n" + ."dev-entry"
	'
)

# work with the file system
echo "ls $mount_point:"
ls "$mount_point"

# unmount the disk image (use the -force option if necessary)
hdiutil detach "$dev_entry"

This script is good BUT the "mount_point" does not take into account anything that can contain a space.
