How can I add a kMDItemWhereFroms attribute to a file?

I inspected the attribute with a third-party application and now I want to write a URL string as metadata from Terminal.


I tried plutil, xxd and xattr but still couldn't figure out the right form to write the bplist.


Any ideas?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
