I am trying to make my software available on macOS, and in my toolchain I use the ldd -r MyModel.so command to verify that everything went well, but I can’t really find an equivalent command on macOS with the same behavior.
otool and nm seem to be the two directions to go, but which of their options provide the behavior of ldd -r? Is there any other tool that can be used for this purpose?
ldd uses ld to load executable files, and recursively loads
dynamically-linked libraries. So using ldd requires being on the target system
(e.g., Linux). Thus, ldd cannot be used for ELF files on macOS.
Assuming that the question is about analyzing Mach-O files on macOS, I do not know of any tool that works for Mach-O files as ldd does for ELF files.
Both otool and nm perform a static analysis.
A possibility is:
otool -L /usr/bin/true
