SYNOPSIS

       #include <mach-o/getsect.h>

       const struct segment_command *getsegbyname(const char *segname);

DESCRIPTION

       This  routine  returns the segment_command structure for the named seg-
       ment if it exists in the  Mach-O  (Mach  object)  executable  getsegby-
       name(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 seg-
       ment they are read-only and thus const by default.
