Hi Jonathan,

Sorry for the delay, the plutil manpage for 10.8.5 says about format
for the '-convert' flag:

fmt is one of: xml1, for version 1 of the XML plist format
binary1, for version 1 of the binary plist format
json, for the JSON format

Among the additional options is:

-r   For JSon, add whitespace and indentation to make the output mor
human-readable.

Thanks for the report, katja.
It looks like we can use 'plutil' instead.
Does the manpage for 'plutil' in 10.8 include 'json' as a possible 
format for the '-convert' flag?

With the command as you specify, but also with command 'defaults'
without argument, it responds with:

"Command line interface to a user's defaults.
Syntax:
'defaults' [-currrentHost | -host ] followed by one of the following:
[...]"

Then follows the list with command options (read, read-type, write,
rename, delete, domains, find) and explanations. In other words,
'defaults' without argument or with argument 'export' are not valid
options on this system (10.8.5). Compare the issue described here:

https://github.com/kcrawford/dockutil/issues/17

Can you think of another approach to get what you want, that I can
test on 10.8.5?

Just to be clear-- did you type the exact command I specified above?  If 
so, what happened?

If I type `defaults export /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences 
-` 
in OSX 10.11 I get the plist output to the console.

Trying this on OSX 10.8.5. Command 'defaults' needs an argument;
'read', 'write', 'rename', 'domains' are among the options, but not
'export'. For example:

$ defaults read org.puredata.pd

gives the preferences for pd as a list between curly braces. I don't
see how to get the /Library/Preferences... etc. into the command?
