# dsdump (paradiseduo wrapper)

> Python wrapper around a prebuilt copy of Derek Selander's dsdump, an improved nm and Objective-C and Swift class-dump for Mach-O binaries, that writes each dumped protocol, class, category and Swift type to its own .h or .swift file instead of a single console stream. It runs the bundled executable once with --objc and once with --swift for the chosen arm64 or armv7 slice, and -d demangles Swift names through Xcode's swift-demangle at a speed cost. The README now points users to the author's resymbol instead.

## Requirements & limits

- macOS and Python 3 are needed to run the bundled x86-64 dsdump executable from the repository directory. -a accepts arm64 or armv7; -d needs Xcode command-line tools for swift-demangle.
- Supply a Mach-O executable for analysis. The wrapper parses dsdump output into Objective-C headers and Swift declarations, with some Swift method names shown as <stripped>.
- The repository has no tests. Its README recommends the author’s resymbol replacement.
- The repository and archived upstream have no license file for the wrapper or bundled executable.
