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

NAME
     dyldinfo — Displays information used by dyld in an executable

SYNOPSIS
     dyldinfo [-arch arch-name] [-dylibs] [-rebase] [-bind] [-weak_bind]
	      [-lazy_bind] [-export] [-opcodes] [-function_starts] 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.

     -dylibs
	     Display the table of dylibs on which this image depends.

     -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 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.

     -function_starts
	     Decodes the list of function start addresses.
