ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mach-O

Mach-O is like a special container that can hold a computer program. It's like a lunch box that can hold your sandwich and some chips. But instead of holding food, it holds instructions for the computer to follow.

When you open up the lunch box, you can see your sandwich and chips. Similarly, when the computer opens up the Mach-O container, it can see the instructions for the program.

Just like the lunch box has different sections for your sandwich and chips, the Mach-O container has different sections for different parts of the program, like the code, data, and settings.

Mach-O is used on Apple computers and devices, kind of like a special lunch box that only works with certain types of food. So if you're writing a program for an Apple device, you have to use Mach-O to put all the instructions in the right place so the computer can understand them.
