Osquery uses basic SQL commands to leverage a relational data-model to describe a device.

osquery

```
~ ❯❯❯ osqueryi --line 'select * from preferences where domain="com.apple.screensaver" AND key="askForPassword" AND username="victor"'
  domain = com.apple.screensaver
     key = askForPassword
  subkey =
   value = true
  forced = 0
username = victor
~ ❯❯❯ python fancy_defaults_read.py com.apple.screensaver askForPassword
askForPassword: False
Type: boolean
Defined: /Users/victor/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.xxxx.plist
~ ❯❯❯
