- ## Method Details

  - ### isMachoPrelink

    public static boolean isMachoPrelink(ByteProvider provider, TaskMonitor monitor)
    Check to see if the given `ByteProvider` is a Mach-O PRELINK binary
    Parameters:
      `provider` - The `ByteProvider` to check
      `monitor` - A monitor
    Returns:
      True if the given `ByteProvider` is a Mach-O PRELINK binary; otherwise, false

  - ### parsePrelinkXml

    public static List<MachoPrelinkMap> parsePrelinkXml(ByteProvider provider, TaskMonitor monitor) throws IOException, org.jdom.JDOMException
    Parses the provider looking for PRELINK XML.
    Parameters:
      `provider` - The provider to parse.
      `monitor` - A monitor.
    Returns:
      A list of discovered `MachoPrelinkMap`s. An empty list indicates that the provider did not represent valid Mach-O PRELINK binary.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if there was an IO-related issue.
      `org.jdom.JDOMException` - if there was a issue parsing the PRELINK XML.

  - ### findPrelinkMachoHeaderOffsets

    public static List<Long> findPrelinkMachoHeaderOffsets(ByteProvider provider, TaskMonitor monitor) throws IOException
    Scans the provider looking for PRELINK Mach-O headers.

    NOTE: The "System" Mach-O at offset 0 is not considered a PRELINK Mach-O.

    NOTE: We used to scan on 0x1000, and then 0x10 byte boundaries. Now iOS 12 seems to put them on 0x8-byte boundaries.

    Parameters:
      `provider` - The provider to scan.
      `monitor` - A monitor.
    Returns:
      A list of provider offsets where PRELINK Mach-O headers start (not including the "System" Mach-O at offset 0).
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If there was an IO-related issue searching for PRELINK Mach-O headers.

  - ### matchPrelinkToMachoHeaderOffsets

    public static org.apache.commons.collections4.BidiMap<MachoPrelinkMap,Long> matchPrelinkToMachoHeaderOffsets(ByteProvider provider, List<MachoPrelinkMap> prelinkList, List<Long> machoHeaderOffsets, TaskMonitor monitor) throws MachException, IOException
    Forms a bidirectional mapping of PRELINK XML to Mach-O header offset in the given provider.
    Parameters:
      `provider` - The PRELINK Mach-O provider.
      `prelinkList` - A list of `MachoPrelinkMap`s.
      `machoHeaderOffsets` - A list of provider offsets where PRELINK Mach-O headers start (not including the "System" Mach-O at offset 0).
      `monitor` - A monitor
    Returns:
      A bidirectional mapping of PRELINK XML to Mach-O header offset in the given provider.
    Throws:
      `MachException` - If there was a problem parsing a Mach-O header.
      `IOException` - If there was an IO-related issue mapping PRELINK XML to Mach-O headers.

  - ### getPrelinkStartAddr

    public static long getPrelinkStartAddr(MachHeader header)
    Gets the start address of the PRELINK Mach-O's in memory.

    NOTE: This method only works for pre iOS 12 binaries. If called on an iOS 12 binary, it will fail and return 0 because the __PRELINK_TEXT segment has a size of 0. In this case, some other means of computing the start address of the PRELINK Mach-O's must be used.

    Parameters:
      `header` - The Mach-O header.
    Returns:
      The start address of the PRELINK Mach-O's in memory, or 0 if it could not be found.
