Documentation for macholib
==========================

macholib can be used to analyze and edit Mach-O headers, the executable
format used by Mac OS X.

It's typically used as a dependency analysis tool, and also to rewrite dylib
references in Mach-O headers to be ``@executable_path`` relative.

Though this tool targets a platform specific file format, it is pure python
code that is platform and endian independent.
