Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Property list" in English language version.
The CF$UID data type in Listing 2 is a dictionary with a single key ("CF$UID") which is followed by an integer number (this layout is what you will see when the property list is represented in XML; in the raw binary format the "UID" data type is a separate entity which doesn't require the dictionary structure). These data types represent a reference to another entity in the "$objects" array. The number of the CF$UID gives the position of the array.
When Unmarshal encounters an OpenStep property list, it will enter a relaxed parsing mode: OpenStep property lists can only store plain old data as strings, so we will attempt to recover integer, floating-point, boolean and date values wherever they are necessary.
