Class: MachO::LoadCommands::LoadCommand

Inherits:
MachOStructure show all
Defined in:
lib/macho/load_commands.rb

Overview

The top-level Mach-O load command structure.

This is the most generic load command -- only the type ID and size are represented. Used when a more specific class isn't available or isn't implemented.

Parameters:

  • cmd_sym (Symbol) —

    the symbol of the load command being created

  • args (Array) —

    the arguments for the load command being created

Raises:

.new_from_bin(view) ⇒ LoadCommand

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Instantiates a new LoadCommand given a view into its origin Mach-O
