                'XML documents via a series of keys surrounded by < >. They '
                'detail when programs should execute, file paths to the '

                'many others. plists are located in certain locations '
                'depending on their purpose such as '
                '<code>/Library/Preferences</code> (which execute with '
                'elevated privileges) and <code>~/Library/Preferences</code> '

                'own code, can use them to execute their code in the context '

                'them as a persistence mechanism. (Citation: Sofacy Komplex '
