# llvm-install-name-tool - LLVM tool for manipulating install-names and rpaths

## SYNOPSIS

llvm-install-name-tool [options] input

## DESCRIPTION

llvm-install-name-tool is a tool to manipulate dynamic shared library install names and rpaths listed in a Mach-O binary.

For most scenarios, it works as a drop-in replacement for Apple’s install_name_tool.

## OPTIONS

At least one of the following options are required, and some options can be combined with other options. Options `-add_rpath`, `-delete_rpath`, and `-rpath` can be combined in an invocation only if they do not share the same <rpath> value.

-add_rpath <rpath>

  Add an rpath named `<rpath>` to the specified binary. Can be specified multiple times to add multiple rpaths. Throws an error if `<rpath>` is already listed in the binary.

-change <old_install_name> <new_install_name>

  Change an install name `<old_install_name>` to `<new_install_name>` in the specified binary. Can be specified multiple times to change multiple dependent shared library install names. Option is ignored if `<old_install_name>` is not listed in the specified binary.

-delete_rpath <rpath>

  Delete an rpath named `<rpath>` from the specified binary. Can be specified multiple times to delete multiple rpaths. Throws an error if `<rpath>` is not listed in the binary.

-delete_all_rpaths

  Deletes all rpaths from the binary.

--help, -h

  Print a summary of command line options.

-id <name>

  Change shared library’s identification name under LC_ID_DYLIB to `<name>` in the specified binary. If specified multiple times, only the last `-id` option is selected. Option is ignored if the specified Mach-O binary is not a dynamic shared library.

-rpath <old_rpath> <new_rpath>

  Change an rpath named `<old_rpath>` to `<new_rpath>` in the specified binary. Can be specified multiple times to change multiple rpaths. Throws an error if `<old_rpath>` is not listed in the binary or `<new_rpath>` is already listed in the binary.

--version, -V

  Display the version of the llvm-install-name-tool executable.

## EXIT STATUS

llvm-install-name-tool exits with a non-zero exit code if there is an error. Otherwise, it exits with code 0.
