Open Terminal ( Ctrl + Space -> Type 'Terminal')..

and print example:

otool -MVv yourlib.a

for help:

otool --help

I use nm to inspect my binaries. Usage can't be simpler:

 nm <filename>

It will list some weird memory-address or whatever, then a visibility character and lastly the symbol. T is public, but check out the man page of nm to find out more about this.

Press Ctrl+space to open up the terminal.

On macOS, the otool tools is alternative to the objdump on the Windows. You should open Terminal and print example:

$ man otool //Usage for otool

If you want to disassemble a file, Just type like this:

$ otool -tV filename
