NAME
redo_prebinding - redo the prebinding of an executable or dynamic library
SYNOPSIS
redo_prebinding [-c | -p | -d] [-i] [-z] [-u] [-r rootdir] [-e executable_path] [-seg_addr_table ta-ble_file_name] table_file_name]
ble_file_name] [-seg_addr_table_filename pathname] [-seg1addr address] [-o output_file] [-s]
input_file
DESCRIPTION
Redo_prebinding is used to redo the prebinding of an executable or dynamic library when one of the
dependent dynamic libraries changes. The input file, executable or dynamic library, must have ini-tially initially
tially been prebound for this program to redo the prebinding. Also all depended libraries must have
their prebinding up to date. So when redoing the prebinding for libraries they must be done in
dependency order. Also when building executables or dynamic libraries that are to be prebound (with
the -prebind options to ld(1) or libtool(1)) the dependent libraries must have their prebinding up to
date or the result will not be prebound.
The options allow for different types of checking for use in shell scripts. Only one of -c, -p or -d
can be used at a time. If redo_prebinding redoes the prebinding on an input file it will run
/usr/bin/objcunique if it exists on the result.
OPTIONS
-c only check if the file needs to have it's prebinding redone and return status. A 0 exit means
the file's prebinding is up to date, 1 means it needs to be redone and 2 means it could not be
checked for reasons like a dependent library is missing (an error message is printed in these
cases).
-p check only for prebound files and return status. An exit status of 1 means the file is a
Mach-O that could have been prebound and is not otherwise the exit status is 0.
-d check only for dynamic shared library files and return status. An exit status of 0 means the
file is a dynamic shared library, 1 means the file is not, 2 means there is some mix in the
architectures.
-i ignore non-prebound files (useful when running on all types of files).
-z zero out the prebind check sum in the output if it has one.
-u unprebind, rather than reprebind (-c, -p, -d, -e ignored). Resets or removes prebinding-spe-cific prebinding-specific
cific information from the input file. As unprebinding is intended to produce a canonical
Mach-O binary, bundles and non-prebound executables and dylibs are acceptable as input. For
these files, the unprebind operation will zero library time stamps and version numbers and
zero entries in the two-level hints table.
-e executable_path
replace any dependent library's "@executable_path" prefix with the executable_path argument.
-seg_addr_table table_file_name
The -seg_addr_table option is used when the input a dynamic library and if specified the table
entry for the install_name of the dynamic library is used for checking and the address to
relocate the library to as it prefered address.
-seg_addr_table_filename pathname
Use pathname instead of the install name of the library for matching an entry in the segment
address table.
-seg1addr address
Move the input library to base address address. This option does not apply when -u,
-seg_addr_table or -seg_addr_table_filename are specified.
-r rootdir
prepend the rootdir argument to all dependent libraries.
-o output_file
write the updated file into output_file rather than back into the input file.
-s write the updated file to standard output
DIAGNOSTICS
With no -c, -p or -d an exit status of 0 means success and 2 means it could not be done for reasons
like a dependent library is missing (an error message is printed in these cases). And exit of 3 is
for the specific case when the dependent libraries are out of date with respect to each other.
