✨ NAME ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * die_get_linkage_name (Dwarf_Die *dw_die );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dw_die — a DIE of the object. That's the thing you're passing in, bestie.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This one gets the linkage name attribute of the given dw_die — literally what it says on the tin. ✨

For a C++ binary, the linkage name will be the mangled symbol. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 💅
