dsdump is a command-line tool that inspects Mach-O binaries, dumping symbol tables plus Objective-C classes and Swift type descriptors, acting as an improved nm and class-dump. It supports demangling, filtering, and multi-architecture binaries.

Use cases

  • dump objective-c classes from a mach-o binary
  • inspect swift type descriptors in an ios app binary
  • list symbols referenced by a macos executable
  • reverse engineer an apple framework's classes
  • demangle swift and c++ symbols from a binary

When to choose

  • you need to dump ObjC or Swift class info from Mach-O binaries on macOS
  • you want an nm/class-dump replacement with filtering and demangling

When to avoid

  • you need accurate dumps of binaries using post-2021 dyld binding opcodes - the README recommends ipsw instead
  • you need a maintained tool with a license or active bug fixes
