`lipo -archs` what version of macOS that argument was added?

Do we know what version of macOS that argument was added?


I found a few outdated man pages online that don't include it.


We use `lipo -archs`, so I want to make sure we aren't breaking slightly older macOS installations

I interpreted your question to be strictly about macOS installations. So I looked at the command line tools. There, you don't have any choice about what version you get and it is tied directly to the operating system.

lipo
is not part of the OS, it’s part of Xcode [1]. Poking around in the various Xcode versions on my system, I see that 
-archs
is not supported in Xcode 9.4 but is supported in Xcode 10.3. My guess is that this was added in Xcode 10.0.

[1] Strictly speaking, 

/usr/bin/lipo
is installed by the OS, but it’s a trampoline that effectively bounces to 
xcrun lipo
. You can find the final location using 
xcrun -f lipo
.
