int
dwarf_vendor_ext(Dwarf_P_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Unsigned constant, char *string, Dwarf_Error *err);

DESCRIPTION

Function dwarf_vendor_ext() adds a vendor-specific macro information entry to a DWARF producer instance.

Argument dbg should reference a DWARF producer instance allocated using dwarf_producer_init(3) or dwarf_producer_init_b(3).

Argument constant specifies a constant value for the macro information entry.

Argument string point to a NUL-terminated string containing the string value for the macro information entry.

If argument err is not NULL, it will be used to store error information in case of an error.

The meaning of the arguments constant and string are not defined by the DWARF specification, but are instead governed by application and vendor conventions.

RETURN VALUES

On success, function dwarf_vendor_ext() returns DW_DLV_OK. In case of an error, function dwarf_vendor_ext() returns DW_DLV_ERROR and sets the argument err.

ERRORS

Function dwarf_vendor_ext() can fail with:

[`DW_DLE_ARGUMENT`]	Either arguments dbg or string was NULL.
[`DW_DLE_MEMORY`]	An out of memory condition was encountered during the execution of the function.

“	Like a classics radio station whose play list spans decades, Unix simultaneously exhibits its mixed and dated heritage. There's Clash-era graphics interfaces; Beatles-era two-letter command names; and systems programs (for example, ps) whose terse and obscure output was designed for slow teletypes; Bing Crosby-era command editing (# and @ are still the default line editing commands), and Scott Joplin-era core dumps.	”
