How to get dylib version information

Hello,

I wanted to get the dylib version. I've a dylib path for which I wanted to get the version number.
I've tried "otool -L" command and it's giving me the proper output but as per the requirements I can't use it, since I've 100 of dylib in a directory for which I wanted to get the version information and I can't run "otool" command for each dylib through NSTask and NSPipe.

I've also found the NSVersionOfLinkTimeLibrary() function to get the dylib version, but as per the documentation NSVersionOfLinkTimeLibrary returns the version number for linked libraries and not for other dylib.

Any help on this would be helpful.

Thanks.

You just want to run "otool -L" on a large number of files?

Open up a terminal window and go to the directory containing the files, then type this:

for f in *
do
   otool -L $f
done

OSX is a unix based system, and "terminal" is a unix shell that allows you to run unix scripts.

Google "Unix shell scripting" to find out more about shell scripting (also, do that if there is a problem with the syntax of my solution -- I didn't have a Unix machine to test it on).
