An working example,
let fm = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
var mh = mach_header() // Defined as C struct, <mach-o/loader.h>
var lc = load_command() // Defined as C struct <mach-o/loader.h>
var location = 0
if let data = fm.contentsAtPath("home/user/projects/some.o") {
data.getBytes(&mh, length: sizeof(mach_header))
location += sizeof(mach_header)
data.getBytes(&lc, range: NSRange(location: location, length: sizeof(
load_command)) )
location += sizeof(load_command)
}
