dyldinfo(1)               BSD General Commands Manual              dyldinfo(1)


NAME

     dyldinfo -- Displays information used by dyld in an executable


SYNOPSIS

     dyldinfo [-arch arch-name] [-rebase] [-bind] [-weak_bind] [-lazy_bind]
              [-export] [-opcodes] file(s)


DESCRIPTION

     Executables built for Mac OS X 10.6 and later have a new format for the
     information in the __LINKEDIT segment.  The dyldinfo tool will display
     that information.

     The options are as follows:

     -arch arch
             Only display the specified architecture.  Other architectures in
             a universal image are ignored.

     -rebase
             Display the table of rebasing information.  Rebasing is what dyld
             does when an image is not loaded at its preferred address.  Typi-
             cally, this involves updating pointers in the __DATA segment
             which are point within the image.

     -bind   Display the table of binding information.  These are the symbolic
             fix ups that dyld must do when an image is loaded.

     -weak_bind
             Display the table of weak binding information.  Typically, only
             C++ progams will have any weak binding.  These are symbols which
             dyld must unique accross all images.

     -lazy_bind
             Display the table of lazy binding information. These are symbols
             which dyld delays binding until they are first used.  Lazy bind-
             ing is automatically used for all function calls to functions in
             some external dylib.

     -export
             Display the table symbols which this image exports.

     -opcodes
             Display the low level opcodes used to encode all rebase and bind-
             ing information.
