Description: MachoAnalysis
        =============
        
        **MachoAnalysis** is a collection of utils written in python2 to help
        developers analysis Mach-O Binaries.At this time,it can help us to
        figure out which module call some target functions,and the dependencies
        between the modules in a binary.
        
        UseAge
        ------
        
        **To figure out which module call some target functions**,you can do
        this in your python script:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import macho_analysis;
        
            module_array = macho_analysis.utils.findCallingSymbolModule("_NSLog","linkmap_path","disassemblyfile_path")];
        
        The *findCallingSymbolModule* function take three arguments,which are
        the name of the symbol(in this case,is the \_NSLog),the path to the
        linkmap file which is generated by xcode, and the path to disassembly
        code file generated by otool(otool -t -V -arch [arch] [macho\_path])
        util in xcode app.It returns an array contains the name of all the
        modules that call the symbol.
        
        **To find the dependencies between the modules**,you can do this in your
        python script:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import macho_analysis;
        
            lib_dep_hash = macho_analysis.utils.findDependency(lib_path_array,'armv7');
        
        The *findDependency* function takes two arguments,the first is an array
        contains the paths to the libs,and the second is the arch name which
        will be passed to the nm utils in the xcode.It returns a dictionary,the
        key is the lib name,and its value is also a dictionary,which map the
        lib's undefined symbol to the module that defines it.
        
        Prerequisites
        -------------
        
        We need xcode to run this tool.
