Module lief::dsc

Module for Dyld shared cache support

Getting Started

let dyld_cache = lief::dsc::from_path("macos-15.0.1/");
for dylib in dyld_cache.libraries() {
    println!("0x{:016x}: {}", dylib.address(), dylib.path());
    let macho: lief::macho::Binary = dylib.get().expect("Can't get Mach-O representation");
}

Performance Considerations

If you aim at extracting several libraries from a dyld shared cache, it is highly recommended to enable caching. Otherwise, performances can be impacted.

See: crate::dsc::enable_cache and crate::dsc::enable_cache_from_dir

Modules

• dyld_shared_cache
• dylib
• mapping_info
• subcache
• uuid

Structs

• DyldSharedCache
  This struct interfaces a dyld shared cache file.
• Dylib
  This structure represents a library embedded in a dyld shared cache. It mirrors the original dyld_cache_image_info structure.
• MappingInfo
  This structure represents a dyld_cache_mapping_info entry.
• SubCache
  This class represents a subcache in the case of large/split dyld shared cache.

Functions

• enable_cache
  Enable globally cache/memoization. One can also leverage this function by setting the environment variable DYLDSC_ENABLE_CACHE to 1
• enable_cache_from_dir
  Same behavior as enable_cache but with a user-provided cache directory
• load_from_files
• load_from_path
  Load a shared cache from a single file or from a directory specified by the path parameter.

Type Aliases

• UUID
  UUID used in different places of the shared cache
