Reading The String Section

Parameters

dw_dbg	The Dwarf_Debug whose .debug_str section we want to access.
dw_offset	Pass in a string offset. Start at 0, and for the next call pass in dw_offset plus dw_strlen_of_string plus 1.
dw_string	The caller must pass in a valid pointer to a char *. On success returns a pointer to a string from offset dw_offset. Never dealloc or free this string.
dw_strlen_of_string	The caller must pass in a valid pointer to a Dwarf_Signed.

On success returns the strlen() of the string.

Parameters

dw_error

On error dw_error is set to point to the error details.

Returns

The usual value: DW_DLV_OK etc. If there is no such section it returns DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY. If the dw_offset is greater than the section size, or dw_string passed in is NULL or dw_strlen_of_string is NULL the function returns DW_DLV_ERROR.
