.Dd September 4, 2011 .Dt DWARF_ADD_AT_STRING 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm dwarf_add_AT_string .Nd create and attach a string class attribute .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libdwarf .Sh SYNOPSIS n libdwarf.h .Ft Dwarf_P_Attribute .Fo dwarf_add_AT_string .Fa "Dwarf_P_Debug dbg" .Fa "Dwarf_P_Die die" .Fa "Dwarf_Half attr" .Fa "char *str" .Fa "Dwarf_Error *err" .Fc .Sh DESCRIPTION Function .Fn dwarf_add_AT_string creates an attribute descriptor belonging to the .Sq string class and attaches it to the debugging information entry referenced by argument .Ar die . The created attribute descriptor will have DWARF form .Dv DW_FORM_strp .

p Argument .Ar dbg should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using .Xr dwarf_producer_init 3 or .Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3 .

p Argument .Ar die should reference a debugging information entry allocated using .Xr dwarf_new_die 3 .

p Argument .Ar attr should specify the attribute code for the created attribute descriptor.

p Argument .Ar str should hold a pointer to a NUL-terminated string which will become the value of the created attribute descriptor.

p If argument .Ar err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error. .Sh RETURN VALUES On success, function .Fn dwarf_add_AT_string returns the created attribute descriptor. In case of an error, function .Fn dwarf_add_AT_string returns .Dv DW_DLV_BADADDR and sets the argument .Ar err . .Sh ERRORS Function .Fn dwarf_add_AT_string can fail with: l -tag -width ".Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT" t Bq Er DW_DLE_ARGUMENT One of the arguments .Ar dbg , .Ar die or .Ar str was NULL. t Bq Er DW_DLE_MEMORY An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of the function. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr dwarf 3 , .Xr dwarf_add_AT_const_value_string 3 , .Xr dwarf_add_AT_name 3 , .Xr dwarf_new_die 3 , .Xr dwarf_producer_init 3 , .Xr dwarf_producer_init_b 3
