Class: MachO::LoadCommands::LoadCommand

Inherits:

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.

#initialize(view, cmd, cmdsize) ⇒ 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.

Returns a new instance of LoadCommand.

Parameters:

    the load command's raw view

  • cmd (Integer) —

    the load command's identifying number

  • cmdsize (Integer) —

    the size of the load command in bytes
