//! Module that handles parsing of Mach-O files from ScanContext bytes
//! The implementation provides utility functions to determine
//! if a given binary data corresponds to a Mach-O file, and further
//! breaks down the data into relevant Mach-O structures and populates
//! both protobuf structure fields and constants. This together with
//! also exported functions can be later used in YARA rules.
