NAME
       NSObjectFileImagepriv - programmatic interface for working with Mach-O
       files

SYNOPSIS
       #include 
       extern enum DYLDBOOL
       NSFindSectionAndOffsetInObjectFileImage(
            NSObjectFileImage objectFileImage,
            unsigned long imageOffset,
            const char** segmentName,     /* can be NULL */
            const char** sectionName,     /* can be NULL */
            unsigned long* sectionOffset) /* can be NULL */
       extern enum DYLDBOOL
       NSHasModInitObjectFileImage(
            NSObjectFileImage objectFileImage);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines are the programmatic interface for working  with  Mach-O
       files.   They  bring the Mach-O file into memory and the API allows the
       file to be inspected or loaded into the program.   On  creation  of  an
       object  file  image it is checked to insure it is a valid format and it
       is compatible with the host machine's cpu architecture.


       NSFindSectionAndOffsetInObjectFileImage is supplied an imageOffset into
       an  ObjectFileImage and returns via parameters the segment/section name
       and offset into that section of that imageOffset.  It returns FALSE  if
       the  imageOffset  is  not in any section, otherwise TRUE.  You can used
       the resulting sectionOffset to index into the data returned  by  NSGet-
       SectionDataInObjectFileImage.

       NSHasModInitObjectFileImage  returns  TRUE if the NSObjectFileImage has
       any module initialization routines and FALSE otherwise.
