Function dwarf_get_funcs() retrieves descriptors for all the static functions associated with the DWARF debug context specified by argument dbg. The argument funcs should point to a location that will be set to a pointer to an array of Dwarf_Func descriptors. The argument nfuncs should point to a location that will be set to the number of descriptors returned.
Function dwarf_func_cu_offset() returns the offset, relative to the ".debug_info" section, of the compilation unit that contains the debugging information entry associated with the argument func. Argument cu_offset should point to a location that will hold the returned offset.
Function dwarf_func_die_offset() retrieves the offset, relative to the ".debug_info" section, of the debugging information entry associated with the argument func, and stores it into the location pointed to by the argument die_offset.
Function dwarf_func_name_offsets() retrieves the name and offsets for the debugging information entry for argument func. Argument name should point to a location which will be set to a pointer to a NUL-terminated string containing the name of the associated debugging information entry. Argument die_offset should point to a location which will be set to the offset, relative to the ".debug_info" section, of the associated debugging information entry. Argument cu_die_offset should point to a location which will be set to the offset, relative to the ".debug_info" section, of the first debugging information entry in the compilation unit associated with argument func.
Function dwarf_funcname() sets the location pointed to by argument name to a pointer to a NUL-terminated string holding the name of the debugging information entry associated with the argument func.
The memory area used for the string returned in the name argument to functions dwarf_func_name_offsets() and dwarf_funcname() is owned by the DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)Portable code should indicate that the memory area can be freed using the dwarf_dealloc(3) function.
[DW_DLE_ARGUMENT] | One of the arguments cu_die_offset, cu_offset, dbg, die_offset, func, funcs, name, or nfuncs was NULL. |
[DW_DLE_NO_ENTRY] | The DWARF debugging context referenced by argument dbg did not contain information about static functions. |

“ | "I liken starting one's computing career with Unix, say as an undergraduate, to being born in East Africa. It is intolerably hot, your body is covered with lice and flies, you are malnourished and you suffer from numerous curable diseases. But, as far as young East Africans can tell, this is simply the natural condition and they live within it. By the time they find out differently, it is too late. They already think that the writing of shell scripts is a natural act." | ” |
