}A FatArch is a Mach-O File inside a FatFile.
A FatArchHeader represents a fat header for a specific image architecture.
A FatFile is a Mach-O universal binary that contains at least one architecture.
NewFatFile creates a new FatFile for accessing all the Mach-O images in a universal binary. The Mach-O binary is expected to start at position 0 in the ReaderAt.
OpenFat opens the named file using os.Open and prepares it for use as a Mach-O universal binary.

}A File represents an open Mach-O file.
NewFile creates a new File for accessing a Mach-O binary in an underlying reader. The Mach-O binary is expected to start at position 0 in the ReaderAt.
Open opens the named file using os.Open and prepares it for use as a Mach-O binary.
Close closes the File. If the File was created using NewFile directly instead of Open, Close has no effect.
DWARF returns the DWARF debug information for the Mach-O file.
ImportedLibraries returns the paths of all libraries referred to by the binary f that are expected to be linked with the binary at dynamic link time.
ImportedSymbols returns the names of all symbols referred to by the binary f that are expected to be satisfied by other libraries at dynamic load time.
Section returns the first section with the given name, or nil if no such section exists.
Segment returns the first Segment with the given name, or nil if no such segment exists.
