metal-package - Metal binaries packaging tool
metal-package [options]
metal-package support different actions related to packaging Metal binaries. Each action is triggered by a different option.
The --thin option allows to thin an universal binary. The architecture to thin for is selected using the --main-arch option. That architecture is identified as the main architecture.
Unlike metal-lipo, more than one architectural slices are kept around by the thinning process. All the AIR slices are preserved in the thinned output. If the input binary contains the architecture to thin for, it is preserved in the output binary. Additional architecture could be preserved, depending on target specific rules. Such architectures are identified as fallback architectures.
An output binary contains the main architecture and/or any fallback architecture. An explicit fallback architecture can be specified using the --fallback-arch option.
The --default-fallback option allows to print the preferred fallback architecture for the given architecture. --all-fallbacks prints the preferred fallback architecture for each architecture.
The --dot-fallback option allows to generate a dot file representing the fallbacks of all architectures. That graph can be viewed directly using the --view-fallback option.
