10.9 String Properties

Just as with symbols, extents, faces, and glyphs, you can attach additional information to strings in the form of string properties. These differ from text properties, which are logically attached to particular characters in the string.

To attach a property to a string, use put. To retrieve a property from a string, use get. You can also use remprop to remove a property from a string and object-plist to retrieve a list of all the properties in a string.
