💅 DWARF_DIENAME(3) 💅

okay so bestie, this page is from the Library Functions Manual, and it's all about dwarf_diename. she's lowkey iconic: she pulls the name that's tied to a debugging information entry. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dwarf_diename — retrieve the name associated with a debugging information entry 💖

🧚 LIBRARY 🧚

DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf) 🌈

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <libdwarf.h>

int
dwarf_diename(Dwarf_Die die, char **ret_name, Dwarf_Error *err);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so dwarf_diename() is giving pointer-retrieval realness. it grabs a pointer to the NUL-terminated string that's associated with the DW_AT_name attribute of the debugging information entry descriptor referenced by the die argument. if the pointer got retrieved successfully, it gets stored in the location pointed to by the ret_name argument. periodt. 💅

💖 RETURN VALUES 💖

dwarf_diename() returns DW_DLV_OK when everything is slay and successful. ✨

if the debugging information entry descriptor denoted by the die argument does not contain a DW_AT_name attribute, she returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY and sets the err argument. for other errors, she returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets the err argument. 😭

💀 ERRORS 💀

dwarf_diename() can fail with these errors, bestie:

  • [DW_DLE_ARGUMENT] — either of the arguments die or ret_name was NULL.
  • [DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY] — argument die had no DW_AT_name attribute.
