## Discussion

Discussion Specifies a data format that is compatible with all macOS versions. Data in this format can be used with the PMUnflattenXXX functions present in versions of macOS prior to 10.5. This format is a pure XML representation of the data. However, this format is much larger than the more modern data formats described below.
