Clear [<Type>] - Clears out all existing entries, and creates root of Type
Print [<Entry>] - Prints value of Entry. Otherwise, prints file
Set <Entry> <Value> - Sets the value at Entry to Value
Add <Entry> <Type> [<Value>] - Adds Entry to the plist, with value Value
Copy <EntrySrc> <EntryDst> - Copies the EntrySrc property to EntryDst
