Its README states that the library was developed as an extension of MachOKit and focuses on parsing Swift information from Mach-O files, including types, protocols, conformances, runtime metadata inspection, and interface generation. ### Adoption history The README documents installation through GitHub Releases, Homebrew, and source builds, placing the command-line tool in both release-artifact and package-manager workflows. Homebrew lists the formula as `swift-section` for macOS bottles. ### How it is used Users run `swift-section dump` to inspect Swift information in Mach-O files or dyld shared caches, and `swift-section interface` to generate Swift interface output. The README also documents SwiftPM library products such as MachOSwiftSection, SwiftInspection, SwiftDump, SwiftInterface, and TypeIndexing. ### Why package nerds care The package is relevant to Swift and macOS tooling specialists because it packages low-level Mach-O and Swift ABI inspection as both a SwiftPM library and a Homebrew-installable CLI. That combination makes binary reverse-engineering workflows scriptable and reproducible from the package manager. ### Timeline - 2025: Public GitHub repository created. - Current docs: README describes the project as an extension of MachOKit. - Current docs: CLI installation documented through GitHub Releases, Homebrew, and source builds. ### Related projects - The README names MachOKit as the base project and documents related products including SwiftInspection, SwiftDump, SwiftInterface, and TypeIndexing. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** swift-section - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Requirements:** macos, xcode - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [dwarf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dwarf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, mach-o. - [readpe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/readpe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, reverse-engineering. - [abi-dumper](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/abi-dumper/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools. - [go-size-analyzer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-size-analyzer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools. - [libabigail](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libabigail/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools. - [vtable-dumper](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vtable-dumper/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools. - [capstone](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/capstone/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, reverse-engineering. - [elfx86exts](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/elfx86exts/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, mach-o. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
