- List all architectures contained in a universal file:

`lipo {{path/to/binary_file}} -archs`

- Display detailed information about a universal file:

`lipo {{path/to/binary_file}} -detailed_info`

- Extract a single-architecture file from a universal file:

`lipo {{path/to/binary_file}} -thin {{arm64e}} -output {{path/to/binary_file.arm64e}}`
