NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     libdwarf -	dwarf debugging	information format library interface

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <dwarf.h>
     #include <libdwarf.h>

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Because the dwarf version 2 debugging information format uses several
     techniques	to offer descriptive power and flexibility while retaining a
     compact representation, reading and writing the data is not simple.
     Consequently two C	interfaces are provided.

     A consumer	interface that allows easy reading of all the data, hiding
     representation details while providing all	the data in the	debugging
     information.  See A Consumer Library Interface to DWARF, which is in
     troff in libdwarf2.1.mm and PostScript form in libdwarf2.1.ps.

     A producer	interface that allows a	compiler to easily produce dwarf
     information.  See A Producer Library Interface to DWARF, which is in
     troff in libdwarf2p.1.mm and PostScript form in libdwarf2p.1.ps.
