LLVM-OTOOL(1)

💅 NAME 💅

llvm-otool — the Mach-O dumping tool, bestie. That's it, that's the vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

llvm-otool [option...] [file...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so llvm-otool is a tool for dumping Mach-O files — literally its whole personality. 🎀

And the way it's designed? It attempts to be command-line-compatible and output-compatible with macOS's otool. Like, it's out here trying to match the original beat for beat. Respect. 👑
