MachoAnalysis
=============

**MachoAnalysis** is a collection of utils written in python2 to help
developers analysis Mach-O Binaries.At this time,it can help us to
figure out which module call some target functions,and the dependencies
between the modules in a binary.

UseAge
------

**To figure out which module call some target functions**,you can do
this in your python script:

.. code:: python

    import macho_analysis;

    module_array = macho_analysis.utils.findCallingSymbolModule("_NSLog","linkmap_path","disassemblyfile_path")];

The *findCallingSymbolModule* function take three arguments,which are
the name of the symbol(in this case,is the \_NSLog),the path to the
linkmap file which is generated by xcode, and the path to disassembly
code file generated by otool(otool -t -V -arch [arch] [macho\_path])
util in xcode app.It returns an array contains the name of all the
modules that call the symbol.

**To find the dependencies between the modules**,you can do this in your
python script:

.. code:: python

    import macho_analysis;

    lib_dep_hash = macho_analysis.utils.findDependency(lib_path_array,'armv7');

The *findDependency* function takes two arguments,the first is an array
contains the paths to the libs,and the second is the arch name which
will be passed to the nm utils in the xcode.It returns a dictionary,the
key is the lib name,and its value is also a dictionary,which map the
lib's undefined symbol to the module that defines it.

Prerequisites
-------------

We need xcode to run this tool.
