| 14 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | The base address of an image (dylib or bundle) is the preferred address for it to be loaded. By | |
| 16 | default all images are built with a base address of zero. At runtime, if the | |
| 17 | preferred memory range is already occupied, dyld will "slide" the image to a new address range. | |
| 18 | There is a small cost to the slide, as dyld must do some fix ups. | |
| 19 | The rebase tool takes a list of images and adjust their base address to be non-overlapping. If no | |
| 20 | low or high address is specified, the a suitable address range is choosen for the architecture. | |
| 21 | .Pp | |
| 22 | The options are as follows: | |
| 23 | .Bl -tag -width indent | |
| 24 | .It Fl low_address Ar addr | |
| 25 | Force the base address for the first image to be | |
| 26 | .Ar addr | |
| 27 | (specified in hex). Each subsequent file gets the next available base address. | |
| 28 | .It Fl high_address Ar addr | |
| 29 | Force the base address for the last image to be such that when that image is loaded it occupies | |
| 30 | memory up to | |
| 31 | .Ar addr | |
| 32 | (specified in hex). Each preceeding file gets the previous available base address. | |
| 33 | .It Fl arch Ar arch | |
| 34 | Only rebase the specified architecture. Other architectures in a universal image are left as is. | |
| 35 | .It Fl v | |
| 36 | Verbose. Print information about rebasing done. | |
