NAME

       scanmacho - user-space utility to scan Mach-O files

SYNOPSIS

       scanmacho [options] Mach-Os or directories

DESCRIPTION

       scanmacho is a user-space utility to quickly scan given Mach-Os, directories, or common
       system paths for different information. This may include Mach-O types, their
       install_names, etc...

       Because Mach-O files can be "fat", it is possible for a single file to return multiple
       lines. Each line represents a single architecture, contained in the fat (universal) file.
       While there are no real restrictions, in practice, the entries can be distinguished by
       their arch type, e.g. ppc, ppc64, i386, x86_64, arm, ...

OPTIONS

       -A, --archives
           Scan archives (.a files)

       -a, --all

           etc...)

           Use specified format for output; see the FORMAT section for more information.

       -f, --from FILE
           Read input stream from specified filename

           Print the interpreter information (LC_LOAD_DYLINKER)

       -M, --bits BITS
           Print only Mach-O files matching specified numeric bits (like 32/64)

       -m, --mount
           Don't recursively cross mount points

       -N, --lib INSTALLNAME
           Find Mach-Os that need the specified INSTALL_NAME

       -n, --needed
           Print libraries the Mach-O is linked against (LC_LOAD_DYLIB).

       -O, --perms PERMS
           Print only Mach-O files with matching specified octal bits (like 755).

       -o, --file FILE
           Write output stream to specified filename.

       -p, --path
           Scan all directories in PATH environment.

       -q, --quiet
           Only output 'bad' things.

       -R, --recursive
           Scan directories recursively

       -r, --rpath
           Print RPATH encoded in the Mach-O (LC_RPATH)

       -S, --soname
           Print the Mach-O's shared library name (install_name).

       -V, --version
           Print version and exit

       -v, --verbose
           Be verbose (can be used more than once)

       -y, --symlink
           Don't scan symlinks

       -Z, --size SIZE
           Print Mach-O file size

FORMAT

       The format string is much like a printf string in that it is a literal string with flags
       requesting different information. For example, you could use a format string and expect
       the following results.

             # scanmacho -BF "file %f needs %n; funky time" /bin/bash
             file bash needs /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib,/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib; funky time

       Note that when you use a format string, generally information related flags should be
       omitted. In other words, you do not want to try and request NEEDED output (-n) and try to
       specify a format output at the same time as these operations are mutually exclusive. Each
       information related flag has an equivalent conversion specifier, so use those instead. You
       can of course continue to use non-information related flags (such as --verbose).

       There are three characters that introduce conversion specifiers.

       • % - replace with info
       •   # - silent boolean match
       •   + - verbose match

       And there are a number of conversion specifiers. We try to match up the specifier with
       corresponding option.

       • a - arch type
       •   b - mach_header flags
       •   D - endian
       •   F - long filename
       •   f - short filename
       •   i - dyld
       •   M - CPU_TYPE class
       •   N - specified needed
       •   n - needed libraries
       •   p - filename (minus search)
       •   o - mh_type
       •   O - perms
       •   r - rpaths
       •   S - install_name

MACH-O FILETYPES

       You can narrow your search by specifying the Mach-O object file type. The commandline
       option takes the symbolic type name. Multiple values can be passed comma separated.
       Example -E MH_EXECUTE,MH_DYLIB

       Here is the normal list available for your pleasure.

       • MH_OBJECT - intermediate object file (.o)
       •   MH_EXECUTE - standard executable program
       •   MH_BUNDLE - dlopen plugin (.bundle)
       •   MH_DYLIB - dynamic shared library (.dylib)
       •   MH_PRELOAD - executable not loaded by Mac OS X kernel (ROM)
       •   MH_CORE - program crash core file
       •   MH_DYLINKER - dynamic linker shared library (dyld)
       •   MH_DYLIB_STUB - shared library stub for static only, no sections
       •   MH_DSYM - debug symbols file (in .dSYM dir)

MACH-O BITS

       You can also narrow your search by specifying the Mach-O bitsize. Specify the numeric
       value.

       • 32 - 32bit mach_header
       •   64 - 64bit mach_header_64
