In your original post you said you wanted to 'pull out bits' and 'replace them'... that can be done with binary editors but you have to know what you are doing.

When you say 'pull out entire files' .. that is a different problem than 'pulling out bits'....

I use binary editors to change only small things like works and phrases, or correct a bad pointer.

However, there are folks who can do things with binary editors that would make the greatest techie green with envy. I used to work with one guy who could change compiled machine code with a binary editor and alter programs because he did not like how the compiler was working (not me!) or simply because recompiling took too long.

If your goals are to change out files, then of course, a binary editor is too difficult. That was not the question in your original post Smilie

install_name_tool

INSTALL_NAME_TOOL(1)					      General Commands Manual					      INSTALL_NAME_TOOL(1)

NAME

       install_name_tool - change dynamic shared library install names

SYNOPSIS

       install_name_tool [-change old new ] ... [-rpath old new ] ... [-add_rpath new ] ... [-delete_rpath new ] ... [-id name] file

DESCRIPTION

       Install_name_tool  changes the dynamic shared library install names and or adds, changes or deletes the rpaths recorded in a Mach-O binary.
       For this tool to work when the install names or rpaths are larger the binary should be built with  the  ld(1)  -headerpad_max_install_names
       option.

       -change old new
	      Changes  the dependent shared library install name old to new in the specified Mach-O binary.  More than one of these options can be
	      specified.  If the Mach-O binary does not contain the old install name in a specified -change option the option is ignored.

       -id name
	      Changes the shared library identification name of a dynamic shared library to name.  If the Mach-O binary is not	a  dynamic  shared
	      library and the -id option is specified it is ignored.

       -rpath old new
	      Changes  the  rpath  path  name old to new in the specified Mach-O binary.  More than one of these options can be specified.  If the
	      Mach-O binary does not contain the old rpath path name in a specified -rpath it is an error.

       -add_rpath new
	      Adds the rpath path name new in the specified Mach-O binary.  More than one of these options can be specified.  If the Mach-O binary
	      already contains the new rpath path name specified in -add_rpath it is an error.

       -delete_rpath old
	      deletes  the  rpath  path  name old in the specified Mach-O binary.  More than one of these options can be specified.  If the Mach-O
	      binary does not contains the old rpath path name specified in -delete_rpath it is an error.
