This is a more elaborated example:
'use strict';
const fs = require('fs');
const macho = require('macho');
const fat = require('fatmacho');
const data = fs.readFileSync(file);
const bins = fat.parse(process.argv[2]);
for (const b of bins) {
console.log(b.arch, b.offset, '+', b.size);
console.log(macho.parse (b.data));
}
