text-stub-library

text-stub-library is a library crate for reading and writing text stub files, which define metadata about dynamic libraries.

text stub files are commonly materialized as .tbd files and are commonly seen in Apple SDKs, where they serve as placeholders for .dylib files, enabling linkers to work without access to the full .dylib file.

This crate is developed as part of the PyOxidizer project and its canonical home is https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer. However, the crate is intended to be useful on its own and modifications to support its use outside of PyOxidizer are very much welcome!
