NAME

getsegbyname − get the segment command for the named segment

SYNOPSIS

#include <ldsyms.h>
#include <sys/loader.h>

const struct segment_command ∗getsegbyname(char ∗segname);

DESCRIPTION

This routine returns the segment_command structure for the named segment if it exists in the Mach-O (Mach object) executable getsegbyname(3) is linked into.  Otherwise getsegbyname(3) returns NULL.  It uses the link editor defined symbol _mh_execute_header and just looks through the load commands.  Since these are mapped into the text segment they are read-only and thus const.
