And since it could be a bit complicated to fully remove Little Snitch 3.3.2, I’ll explain the how this application is installed and how the system manages the files under the following subtitles. A macOS App contains several types of files, among which these 5 are relatively important: 1. Plist filesplist files are the Mac version of preference files.
Similar to.ini files on Windows. They contain the preferences for a particular program.
For example the bookmarks.plist would contain your bookmarks. Framework filesA framework is a hierarchical directory that encapsulates shared resources, such as a dynamic shared library, nib files, image files, localized strings, header files, and reference documentation in a single package. Multiple applications can use all of these resources simultaneously. The system loads them into memory as needed and shares the one copy of the resource among all applications whenever possible.
Dylib filesMost of an app’s functionality is implemented in libraries of executable code. When an app is linked with a library using a static linker, the code that the app uses is copied to the generated executable file. A static linker collects compiled source code, known as object code, and library code into one executable file that is loaded into memory in its entirety at runtime. The kind of library that becomes part of an app’s executable file is known as a static library. Static libraries are collections or archives of object files. Kext filesKext files are essentially drivers for Mac OS X.
'Kext' stands for Kernel Extension; kext files 'extend' Mac OS X's kernel, the core part of the operating system, by providing additional code to be loaded when your computer boots. Unix executable filesExecutable files contain code that is run when the file is opened. MacOS applications, scripts, and macros are all considered executable files. Since these file types run code when opened, unknown executable files, such as those received as e-mail attachements, should not be opened.
