<i>Libmach</i> provides an interface for accessing the executable files
|
|
and executing images of various architectures and operating systems.
|
|
The interface is machine-independent, meaning that, for example,
|
|
Mac OS X core dumps may be inspected using an x86 Linux machine
|
|
and vice versa. In its current form, the library is
|
|
mainly useful for writing debuggers of one sort or another.
|
|
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
|
|
|
|
An architecture is described primarily by a <tt><font size=+1>Mach</font></tt> structure, which
|
|
contains data structures and parameters describing the particular
|
|
architecture. Most library functions assume that the global variable
|
|
<i>mach</i> points at the structure for the architecture being debugged.
|
|
It is set implicitly by <i>crackhdr</i> (see <a href="../man3/mach-file.html"><i>mach-file</i>(3)</a>) and
|
|
can be set explicitly by calling <i>machbyname</i> or <i>machbytype</i>.
|
|
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
|
|
|
|
There is no operating system-specific structure akin to <i>mach</i>.
|
|
Typically the choice of operating system on a particular architecture
|
|
affects only the executable and core dump formats; the various
|
|
file parsers deduce the operating system from information in the
|
|
binary files themselves and adjust accordingly.
|
|
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
|
|
|
|
The supported architectures are <tt><font size=+1>386</font></tt> (Intel 32-bit x86) 386 and
|
|
later) and <tt><font size=+1>power</font></tt> (IBM PowerPC, typically running Mac OS X).
