Module lief::macho

Module for the Mach-O file format support in LIEF.

To get started, one can use crate::macho::parse, crate::macho::FatBinary::parse or crate::Binary::parse to instantiate a crate::macho::FatBinary.

Even though the targeted Mach-O binary is not FAT, LIEF always return a crate::macho::FatBinary which can wrap a single Binary.

let fat = lief::macho::parse("non-fat.macho").unwrap();
assert!(fat.iter().len() == 1);

let fat = lief::macho::parse("real-fat.macho").unwrap();
assert!(fat.iter().len() > 1);

The Binary structure exposes the main interface to inspect or modify Mach-O binaries:

fn inspect_macho(macho: &lief::macho::Binary) {
    for cmd in macho.commands() {
        println!("{:?}", cmd);
    }
}

Structs

• Binary
  This is the main interface to read and write Mach-O binary attributes.
• ExportInfo
  This structure represents an export (info) in a Mach-O binary
• FatBinary
  This structure represents a FAT Mach-O
• Header
  Structure that represents the main Mach-O header (at the beginning of the file)
• Section
• Stub
  This class represents a stub entry in sections like __stubs,__auth_stubs.
• Symbol
  Structure that represents a Symbol in a Mach-O file.

Enums

• BindingInfo
  This enum exposes all the different types of binding operations that we can find in a Mach-O binary. BindingInfo::Dyld exposes the bindings info wrapped in the LC_DYLD_INFO command while BindingInfo::Chained exposes the new chained bindings implemented in the DYLD_CHAINED_FIXUPS command.
• Commands
  Enum that wraps all the different Mach-O load commands (LC_xxx). Note that all these commands implements the trait: Command
• Relocation
  Enum that represents the different to encode/represent a relocation in a Mach-O file

Functions

• parse
  Parse a Mach-O file from the given file path
