readelf-like tool for Mac OS X? [closed]

Question

Is there a tool for reading Mac OS X binaries that would print information about relocation tables and symbol offsets similar to this readelf output?

readelf -r app  Relocation section '.rel.dyn' at offset 0x5ec contains 2 entries:  Offset     Info    Type            Sym.Value  Sym.

In this example, print is a function loaded from a shared library (I wrote) at runtime. readelf is able to display information about its location inside the app binary.

Answer 1

Using Macports:

1. Install macports.
2. Using macports port install binutils
3. gobjdump -p /path/to/app

Using Homebrew:

1. Install Homebrew
2. Do brew update && brew install binutils
3. /usr/local/path/to/gobjdump -p /path/to/app # or follow instructions to add it to your PATH

There are, of course, many other command-line options. Note that the binutils port cautions that installing it may cause other ports to fail to build. Having it around to port install/look at something/port uninstall can still be handy.

It's rather amazing that there isn't already some native tool to do this.
