 *        indirectly returning the address within that mapped file
 *        containing the data for that symbol. Only symbols of type

 *        the result will be macho_seek_result_found_no_value.
 * @param mach_header A pointer to the beginning of the mapped Mach-O file.
 * @param file_end A pointer to the end of the mapped Mach-O file.
 * @param symbol_entry The nlist entry for the symbol. It is only valid while
 *        the macho_iterator exists.
 * @param symbol_name The name of the symbol to find.
 * @param symbol_address The address of a pointer that will be filled
 *        with the location of the symbol's data in the mapped file,
 *        if it is found.
 * @result Returns macho_seek_result_found if the symbol is found,
 * macho_seek_result_not_found if the symbol is not defined in the given file,
 * or macho_seek_result_error if an error occurs.

 *        offsets and addresses of such things as nlist entries.
 *        Sections are numbered in a Mach-O file starting with 1, since zero
 *        is reserved to mean "no section".

 *        structure within the same Mach-O file, this should not be a problem.
 * @param mach_header A pointer to the beginning of the mapped Mach-O file.
 * @param file_end A pointer to the end of the mapped Mach-O file.

 * @abstract The callback function used when scanning Mach-O load commands
 *           with macho_scan_load_commands.
 * @discussion macho_lc_callback defines the callback function
 * invoked by macho_scan_load_commands for each load command it encounters.
 * The scan function passes a pointer to a user data struct that you can use
 * for search parameters, running information, and search results.
 * @param load_command A pointer to the Mach-O load command being processed.
 * @param file_end A pointer to the end of the mapped Mach-O file,
 *        to be used for bounds checking.
 * @param swap A boolean flag indicating whether the Mach-O file's byte order
 *        is opposite the host's.
 *        If nonzero, the callback needs to swap all multibyte values
 *        read from the Mach-O file.
 * @param user_data A pointer to user-defined data that is passed unaltered
 *        across invocations of the callback function.
 * @result Returns macho_seek_result_found if the requested item is found,
 * macho_seek_result_not_found if is not found on this call,
 * macho_seek_result_stop if the function determined that it does not exist,
 * or macho_seek_result_error if an error occurs
 * (particularly if any data structure to be accessed
 * would run past the end of the file).
