where is I/O Registry Explorer?

Hi, I'm a new OSX developer. According to the document " IO Kit Fundamentals", I/O Registry Explorer can be found in the developer version of OS X. My Current OS is OS X 10.11. But there is no I/O Registry Explorer. What't the difference between developer version of OS X and OSX 10.11 (or OSX 10.11.3)? Where can I find I/O Registry Explorer ?


Best Regards

The IORegistryExplorer app is available as part of the "Hardware IO Tools for Xcode".

https://developer.apple.com/downloads

IORegistry information can also be viewed from the command line using the 'ioreg' command.


I see where you say that document references the "developer version of OS X". As far as I know this isn't really referring to some developer-only release of the OS; it probably just means any OS X system that has part or all of Xcode installed.
