machobot 0.1.5

Installation

$ [sudo] pip install machobot

$ pip install nose macholib
$ git clone https://github.com/rodionovd/machobot.git machobot
$ cd ./machobot
$ nosetests # run the test suite

Usage

• As a command-line util:

  $ inject_dylib ./target "@rpath/mylib.dylib"

• As a Python module:

  import machobot

  Example usage:

  import machobot.dylib as dylib
  
  dylib.insert_load_command("output.a", "@executable_path/../../libk.dylib")

Modules

dylib

insert_load_command (target_path, library_install_name)

Inserts a new LC_LOAD_DYLIB load command into the target Mach-O header.

macho_dependencies_list (target_path, header_magic=None)

Generates a list of libraries the given Mach-O file depends on.

In that list a single library is represented by its “install path”: for some libraries it would be a full file path, and for others it would be a relative path (sometimes with dyld templates like @executable_path or @rpath in it).

Note: I don’t know any reason why would some architectures of a fat Mach-O depend on certain libraries while others don’t, but it’s technically possible. So that’s why you may want to specify the header_magic value for a particular header.

See machobot/tests/test_dylib.py for usage examples.
