Hi,
ELF-like systems, particularly linux, allow a shared library
to have an entry point. This allows a library to be constructed
so that it emits, say, version information if it's executed.
This is an example from linux:
% /lib/libc.so.6

Is there a way to do something similar with a .dylib
on darwin/macos?
Thanks,
Ariel Burton
