System Profiler Module
Interface with Mac OSX's command-line System Profiler utility to get information about package receipts and installed applications.
New in version 2015.5.0.
Return the results of a call to system_profiler -xml -detail full SPApplicationsDataType as a dictionary. Top-level keys of the dictionary are the names of each set of install receipts, since there can be multiple receipts with the same name. Contents of each key are a list of dictionaries.
Note that this can take a long time depending on how many applications are installed on the target Mac.
CLI Example:
salt '*' systemprofiler.applications
Return the results of a call to system_profiler -xml -detail full SPInstallHistoryDataType as a dictionary. Top-level keys of the dictionary are the names of each set of install receipts, since there can be multiple receipts with the same name. Contents of each key are a list of dictionaries.
CLI Example:
salt '*' systemprofiler.receipts
