🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libdwarf.h>

const char *
dwarf_errmsg(Dwarf_Error err);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Function dwarf_errmsg() returns a NUL-terminated string for the error denoted by argument err. So yeah, it's giving "turn my mysterious error into a cute little readable string" energy ✨

Argument err should be a valid handle to a Dwarf_Error instance. Valid handle only, babe — no cap 🎀

The returned pointer should not be freed using free(3) or dwarf_dealloc(3). Like, do not touch it with those cleanup tools, fr fr 🙈

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑
