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