TMachOResourceReader class
Mach-O resource reader
Declaration
TMachOResourceReader = class(TAbstractResourceReader)Inheritance
- TMachOResourceReader
- TAbstractResourceReader
Description
This class provides a reader for Mach-O object files and images containing resources.
Mach-O is the file format used by Darwin and Mac OS X for object files and image files (executables, dynamic libraries and so on). Free Pascal can store resources in Mach-O files in its own format.
After an object file has been read, MachineType property holds the machine type the object file was built for.
This reader can't read multiple-architecture Mach-O files (like universal binary). To read a particular Mach-O file in a multiple-architecture file, extract it with lipo command.
