Can anyone fill me in on what those unknown sections are? I briefly looked at the Mac OS X ABI Mach-O File Format Reference ( http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/MachORun time/Reference/reference.html<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Develo perTools/Conceptual/MachORuntime/Reference/reference.html>), which is where I got the few definitions I have above, but I'd like to know more.

Have you checked the headers in /usr/include/mach-o/? Poking around loader.h, I see defines for some of your sections with some quick comments. There might be more information hidden in other files.

Briefly started poking at it. It looks likely that I need to use functions in mach-o/nlist.h. The only reason I've been avoiding it is because my program is written in Python, and was hoping for a quick hack; however, the more I hack, the bigger the quagmire gets! :P I'll look at nlist this weekend. Since the rest of my code more or less works right, I'll probably use SWIG to generate some bindings so I can parse stuff using Python.
