DWARF_RESET_SECTION_BYTES(3)
π DWARF_RESET_SECTION_BYTE(3) π
okay so bestie, this one's a Library Functions Manual girlie from the DWARF Access Library β that's libdwarf, linked in with -ldwarf, iykyk. Let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
dwarf_reset_section_bytes β it literally resets the internal state of a producer instance. that's the whole vibe. no cap π
πΈ LIBRARY πΈ
DWARF Access Library, aka libdwarf, and you link it with -ldwarf. iconic, we love a one-flag situation π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
#include <libdwarf.h>
void
dwarf_reset_section_bytes(Dwarf_P_Debug dbg);
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
okay so here's the tea β β dwarf_reset_section_bytes() resets the internal state of a DWARF producer instance. like, it hits the rewind button on that thing.
and the why, bestie, is because after the reset:
- the next call to
dwarf_get_section_bytes(3)will return the byte stream for the first generated section π« - the next call to
dwarf_get_relocation_info(3)will return the first relocation array for the DWARF producer instance π―
so it's giving "start over from the beginning", main character energy, no notes.
also, quick vibe check on the argument: dbg should reference a DWARF producer instance that was allocated using dwarf_producer_init(3) or dwarf_producer_init_b(3). don't just hand it anything, bestie π
π§ RETURN VALUES π§
function dwarf_reset_section_bytes() has no return value. it's a void girlie. she does her job and says nothing. respect π
