69 * The layout of the file depends on the filetype. For all but the MH_OBJECT
70 * file type the segments are padded out and aligned on a segment alignment
71 * boundary for efficient demand pageing. The MH_EXECUTE, MH_FVMLIB, MH_DYLIB,
72 * MH_DYLINKER and MH_BUNDLE file types also have the headers included as part
73 * of their first segment.
75 * The file type MH_OBJECT is a compact format intended as output of the
76 * assembler and input (and possibly output) of the link editor (the .o
77 * format). All sections are in one unnamed segment with no segment padding.
78 * This format is used as an executable format when the file is so small the
79 * segment padding greatly increases it's size.
81 * The file type MH_PRELOAD is an executable format intended for things that
82 * not executed under the kernel (proms, stand alones, kernels, etc). The
83 * format can be executed under the kernel but may demand paged it and not
84 * preload it before execution.

118 * load commands must have as their first two fields cmd and cmdsize. The cmd
119 * field is filled in with a constant for that command type. Each command type
120 * has a structure specifically for it. The cmdsize field is the size in bytes
121 * of the particular load command structure plus anything that follows it that
122 * is a part of the load command (i.e. section structures, strings, etc.). To
123 * advance to the next load command the cmdsize can be added to the offset or
124 * pointer of the current load command. The cmdsize MUST be a multiple of
125 * sizeof(long) (this is forever the maximum alignment of any load commands).

127 * follow these rules so the file can be memory mapped. Otherwise the pointers

557 * To support dynamic binding of "modules" (whole object files) the symbol
558 * table must reflect the modules that the file was created from. This is
559 * done by having a module table that has indexes and counts into the merged
560 * tables for each module. The module structure that these two entries
561 * refer to is described below. This exists only in a dynamicly linked
562 * shared library file. For executable and object modules the file only

569 * To support dynamic module binding the module structure for each module
570 * indicates the external references (defined and undefined) each module
571 * makes. For each module there is an offset and a count into the
572 * reference symbol table for the symbols that the module references.
573 * This exists only in a dynamicly linked shared library file. For
574 * executable and object modules the defined external symbols and the
575 * undefined external symbols indicates the external references.

584 * and stub. For every section of these two types the index into the
585 * indirect symbol table is stored in the section header in the field
586 * reserved1. An indirect symbol table entry is simply a 32bit index into
587 * the symbol table to the symbol that the pointer or stub is referring to.
588 * The indirect symbol table is ordered to match the entries in the section.

594 * To support relocating an individual module in a library file quickly the
595 * external relocation entries for each module in the library need to be
596 * accessed efficiently. Since the relocation entries can't be accessed
597 * through the section headers for a library file they are separated into
598 * groups of local and external entries further grouped by module. In this
599 * case the presents of this load command who's extreloff, nextrel,
600 * locreloff and nlocrel fields are non-zero indicates that the relocation
601 * entries of non-merged sections are not referenced through the section
602 * structures (and the reloff and nreloc fields in the section headers are
605 * Since the relocation entries are not accessed through the section headers

607 * offset to identify the item to be relocated. In this case r_address is
608 * set to the offset from the vmaddr of the first LC_SEGMENT command.
610 * The relocation entries are grouped by module and the module table
611 * entries have indexes and counts into them for the group of external
612 * relocation entries for that the module.
614 * For sections that are merged across modules there must not be any
615 * remaining external relocation entries for them (for merged sections
616 * remaining relocation entries must be local).
