What I don't know/understand:
- I'm not sure to understand how you can inspect a binary without
loading it in memory. It looks as if the dyld API work only with the
running binary (no parameter for instance to enumerate the number of
images with _dyld_image_count();).
- There doesn't seem to be an API for peff binaries. Is it safe to
assume that the magic cookie is always at the beginning of the file?
Open the file and parse the info yourself using mach-o/loader.h and
mach-o/fat.h. PEF is very rare these days, but you can do the same
thing using CarbonCore/PEFBinaryFormat.h. Of course on OS X, PEF will
only contain PPC code.
