readelf-like tool for Mac OS X? [closed]

Answer 1

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install binutils
greadelf filepath

1. install homebrew.
2. use homebrew to install binutils
3. the readelf in binutils is called greadelf.

Answer 2

Using Macports:

1. Install macports.
2. Using macports port install binutils
3. gobjdump -p /path/to/app

Using Homebrew:

1. Install Homebrew
2. Do brew update && brew install binutils
3. /usr/local/path/to/gobjdump -p /path/to/app # or follow instructions to add it to your PATH

There are, of course, many other command-line options. Note that the binutils port cautions that installing it may cause other ports to fail to build. Having it around to port install/look at something/port uninstall can still be handy.

It's rather amazing that there isn't already some native tool to do this.

Answer 3

Have you tried ObjConv? http://agner.org/optimize/#objconv

This utility can be used for converting object files between COFF/PE, OMF, ELF and Mach-O (used by Mac OS) formats for all 32-bit and 64-bit x86 platforms. Can modify symbol names in object files. Can build, modify and convert function libraries across platforms. Can dump object files and executable files. Also includes a very good disassembler supporting the SSE4, AVX, FMA and XOP instruction sets.

Ps.: The source code is included (GPL).
