怎么查看 mac 动态库 dylib 的版本

方法一：Run otool -L on it, and it will show its actually version. I choose libSystem.B 

as it has different version in the 10.4 and 10.5 SDKs:

$ otool -L /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib:
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.3.11)
    /usr/lib/system/libmathCommon.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 220.0.0)

$ otool -L /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib:
    /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.1.4)
    /usr/lib/system/libmathCommon.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 292.4.0)

方法二：

A second solution is to use NSVersionOfRunTimeLibrary in a test program, in which you force load the library you want to check. Create a program libversion from the following C source:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <mach-o/dyld.h>

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf ("%x\n", NSVersionOfRunTimeLibrary (argv[1]));
  return 0;
}

Then, you call it like that:

$ DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libpam.2.dylib ./a.out libpam.2.dylib
30000

(here, the version number is printed as hexadecimal, but you can adapt to your needs.)

You can check the source code of NSVersionOfRunTimeLibrary here:http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/dyld/dyld-132.13/src/dyldAPIsInLibSystem.cpp

Based on that you can create your own version which replaces if(names_match(install_name, libraryName) == TRUE) with if(strcmp(_dyld_get_image_name(i), libraryName) == 0)That will fix the issue that the original expected the library name without full path, the edited version expects the full path, but it'll still search in the loaded dylibs.

#include <mach-o/dyld.h>
int32_t
library_version(const char* libraryName)
{
    unsigned long i, j, n;
    struct load_command *load_commands, *lc;
    struct dylib_command *dl;
    const struct mach_header *mh;

    n = _dyld_image_count();
    for(i = 0; i < n; i++){
        mh = _dyld_get_image_header(i);
        if(mh->filetype != MH_DYLIB)
        continue;
        load_commands = (struct load_command *)
#if __LP64__
                ((char *)mh + sizeof(struct mach_header_64));
#else
                ((char *)mh + sizeof(struct mach_header));
#endif
        lc = load_commands;
        for(j = 0; j < mh->ncmds; j++){
        if(lc->cmd == LC_ID_DYLIB){
            dl = (struct dylib_command *)lc;
            if(strcmp(_dyld_get_image_name(i), libraryName) == 0)
            return(dl->dylib.current_version);
        }
        lc = (struct load_command *)((char *)lc + lc->cmdsize);
        }
    }
    return(-1);
}
