Sh NAME
Nm dwarf_finish ,
Nm dwarf_object_finish
Nd free resources associated with a debug descriptor
Sh LIBRARY
Lb libdwarf
Sh SYNOPSIS
In libdwarf.h
Ft int
Fn dwarf_finish "Dwarf_Debug dbg" "Dwarf_Error *err"
Ft int
Fn dwarf_object_finish "Dwarf_Debug dbg" "Dwarf_Error *err"
Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Fn dwarf_finish
and
Fn dwarf_object_finish
functions are used to release the resources associated with a debug
descriptor allocated by a prior call to
Xr dwarf_init 3
and
Xr dwarf_object_init 3
respectively.
Pp
Argument
Fa dbg
denotes a valid
Vt Dwarf_Debug
instance.
Argument
Fa err
will be used to record error information in case of an error.
Pp
After a call to
Fn dwarf_finish
or
Fn dwarf_object_finish ,
the argument
Fa dbg
will be invalid and should not be used further.
Pp
For
Vt Dwarf_Debug
descriptors opened using
Xr dwarf_init 3 ,
the application would need to explicitly release the
Vt Elf
instance associated with the descriptor by first retrieving
the instance using
Xr dwarf_get_elf 3
and closing it using
Xr elf_end 3 .
Sh RETURN VALUES
These functions return
Dv DW_DLV_OK
if successful.
In case of an error, the functions return
Dv DW_DLV_ERROR
and record additional information in argument
Fa err .
Sh EXAMPLES
To deallocate a
Vt Dwarf_Debug
instance allocated using
Xr dwarf_elf_init 3
use:
Bd -literal -offset indent
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Error de;
if (dwarf_finish(dbg, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_finish: %s", dwarf_errmsg(de));

Pp
To deallocate a
Vt Dwarf_Debug
instance allocated using
Xr dwarf_object_init 3
use:
Bd -literal -offset indent
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Error de;
if (dwarf_object_finish(dbg, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_object_finish: %s",
dwarf_errmsg(de));

Pp
To deallocate a
Vt Dwarf_Debug
