class-dump is a command-line utility for examining the Objective-C segment of Mach-O files. It generates declarations for the classes, categories and protocols. This is the same information provided by using 'otool -ov', but presented as normal Objective-C declarations.
The latest version and information is available at:
http://stevenygard.com/projects/class-dump
The source code is also available from my Github repository at:
https://github.com/nygard/class-dump
class-dump 3.5 (64 bit)
Usage: class-dump [options] <mach-o-file>
where options are:
-a show instance variable offsets
-A show implementation addresses
--arch <arch> choose a specific architecture from a universal binary (ppc, ppc64, i386, x86_64)
-C <regex> only display classes matching regular expression
-f <str> find string in method name
-H generate header files in current directory, or directory specified with -o
-I sort classes, categories, and protocols by inheritance (overrides -s)
-o <dir> output directory used for -H
-r recursively expand frameworks and fixed VM shared libraries
-s sort classes and categories by name
-S sort methods by name
-t suppress header in output, for testing
--list-arches list the arches in the file, then exit
--sdk-ios specify iOS SDK version (will look in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS<version>.sdk
--sdk-mac specify Mac OS X version (will look in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX<version>.sdk
--sdk-root specify the full SDK root path (or use --sdk-ios/--sdk-mac for a shortcut)

class-dump AppKit:
class-dump /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework
-
class-dump UIKit:
class-dump /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.3.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework
-
class-dump UIKit and all the frameworks it uses:

-
class-dump UIKit (and all the frameworks it uses) from developer tools that have been installed in /Dev42 instead of /Developer:
class-dump /Dev42/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework -r --sdk-root /Dev42/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk
