Hi All,
Can you please help me on this function swap_fat_arch() (present in swap.h) I could see the declaration, where can I find the definition.

This function is defined in the 'cctools' project.

<http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/cctools/cctools-667.3/libmacho/swap.c>

I am not clear as what it does. Any help would be very much appreciated.

It can be used to swap a mach-o fat binary header from big to little endian (or vice versa). This may be necessary when read mach-o fat binaries from disk and parsing the results, depending on your host architecture.
