machdump

machdump is a tool to verbatim dump Mach-O object files for low-level debugging. Mach-O is the executable file format on Apple software.

NOTE: machdump only compiles on MacOS where the Mach-O headers are defined. If you can acquire those headers from Apple Open Source, you may be able to compile on other platforms.

Simply give it one or more Mach-O files on the command and it will dump each. It also responds to the universal options --help and --version.

Usage

First, clone the repository and build the executable.

git clone https://github.com/ethanuppal/machdump
cd machdump
make

Then, install machdump with:

sudo cp machdump /usr/local/bin
