.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
These routines are the programmatic interface for working with Mach-O files.
They bring the Mach-O file into memory and the API allows the file to
be inspected or loaded into the program.  On creation of an object file image
it is checked to insure it is a valid format and it is compatible with the host
machine's cpu architecture.
.PP
.PP
.I NSFindSectionAndOffsetInObjectFileImage
is supplied an imageOffset into an ObjectFileImage and returns 
via parameters the segment/section name and offset into that section of
that imageOffset.  It returns FALSE if the imageOffset is not 
in any section, otherwise TRUE.  You can used the resulting sectionOffset to
index into the data returned by NSGetSectionDataInObjectFileImage.
.PP
.I NSHasModInitObjectFileImage
returns TRUE if the NSObjectFileImage has any module initialization routines
and FALSE otherwise.
