IPSW-DYLD-SPLIT(1)

NAME
ipsw-dyld-split - Split DSC into dylibs using Xcode's dsc_extractor (macOS only)

SYNOPSIS
ipsw dyld split [flags]

DESCRIPTION
Split a dyld_shared_cache into individual dylibs using Apple's dsc_extractor.bundle.

This is a fast bulk operation but the output is not enriched for reverse engineering. For RE use, prefer 'ipsw dyld extract' which adds local symbols, ObjC metadata, and stub island symbols, works cross-platform, and produces IDA/Ghidra-ready MachOs.
