  17 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  18 Executables built for Mac OS X 10.6 and later have a new format for the
  19 information in the __LINKEDIT segment.  The dyldinfo tool will display
  20 that information.
  21 .Pp
  22 The options are as follows:
  23 .Bl -tag -width indent
  24 .It Fl arch Ar arch
  25 Only display the specified architecture.  Other architectures in a universal image are ignored.
  26 .It Fl rebase
  27 Display the table of rebasing information.  Rebasing is what dyld does when an image is
  28 not loaded at its preferred address.  Typically, this involves updating pointers in the __DATA
  29 segment which are point within the image.
  30 .It Fl bind
  31 Display the table of binding information.  These are the symbolic fix ups that dyld must
  32 do when an image is loaded.
  33 .It Fl weak_bind
  34 Display the table of weak binding information.  Typically, only C++ progams will have any
  35 weak binding.  These are symbols which dyld must unique accross all images.
  36 .It Fl lazy_bind
  37 Display the table of lazy binding information. These are symbols which dyld delays binding
  38 until they are first used.  Lazy binding is automatically used for all function calls to
  39 functions in some external dylib.
  40 .It Fl export
  41 Display the table symbols which this image exports.
  42 .It Fl opcodes
  43 Display the low level opcodes used to encode all rebase and binding information.
