Module header

Source
Expand description

A header contains minimal architecture information, the binary kind, the number of load commands, as well as an endianness hint

Structs§

Constants§

  • indicates that this binary binds to all two-level namespace modules of its dependent libraries. Only used when MH_PREBINDABLE and MH_TWOLEVEL are both set.
  • When this bit is set, all stacks in the task will be given stack execution privilege. Only used in MH_EXECUTE filetypes.
  • The code was linked for use in an application extension.
  • the object file’s undefined references are bound by the dynamic linker when loaded.
  • the final linked image uses weak symbols
  • dynamically bound bundle file
  • the binary has been canonicalized via the unprebind operation
  • core file
  • Only for use on dylibs. When linking against a dylib that has this bit set, the static linker will automatically not create a LC_LOAD_DYLIB load command to the dylib if no symbols are being referenced from the dylib.
  • companion file with only debug sections
  • the object file is input for the dynamic linker and can’t be staticly link edited again
  • dynamically bound shared library
  • shared library stub for static linking only, no section contents
  • dynamic link editor
  • demand paged executable file
  • set of mach-o’s
  • the executable is forcing all images to use flat name space bindings
  • fixed VM shared library file
  • Contains a section of type S_THREAD_LOCAL_VARIABLES
  • the object file is the output of an incremental link against a base file and can’t be link edited again
  • x86_64 kexts
  • the shared library init routine is to be run lazily via catching memory faults to its writeable segments (obsolete)
  • Mach Header magic constant
  • Mach Header magic constant for 64-bit
  • do not have dyld notify the prebinding agent about this executable
  • this umbrella guarantees no multiple defintions of symbols in its sub-images so the two-level namespace hints can always be used.
  • the object file has no undefined references
  • When this bit is set, the OS will run the main executable with a non-executable heap even on platforms (e.g. i386) that don’t require it. Only used in MH_EXECUTE filetypes.
  • When this bit is set on a dylib, the static linker does not need to examine dependent dylibs to see if any are re-exported
  • relocatable object file
  • When this bit is set, the OS will load the main executable at a random address. Only used in MH_EXECUTE filetypes.
  • the binary is not prebound but can have its prebinding redone. only used when MH_PREBOUND is not set.
  • the file has its dynamic undefined references prebound.
  • preloaded executable file
  • When this bit is set, the binary declares it is safe for use in processes with uid zero
  • When this bit is set, the binary declares it is safe for use in processes when issetugid() is true
  • the file has its read-only and read-write segments split
  • safe to divide up the sections into sub-sections via symbols for dead code stripping
  • the image is using two-level name space bindings
  • the final linked image contains external weak symbols
