About:
DWARF is a compact, extensible debug information format used by compilers and debuggers. The dwarfutils package provides essential tools like dwarfdump to inspect and analyze DWARF sections within ELF object files, aiding in low-level debugging and development.
Key Features:
  • Inspect DWARF debug sections in ELF files
  • Verify DWARF information integrity
  • Support for DWARF versions 2 through 5
  • Command-line utilities for scripting and automation
Use Cases:
  • Debugging compiled binaries at the DWARF level
  • Verifying compiler output for debug information correctness
  • Analyzing binary structure for security or optimization
Alternatives:
  • readelf – Part of binutils; provides general ELF info but less detailed DWARF inspection than dwarfdump.
  • llvm-dwarfdump – LLVM's tool; similar functionality but tied to the LLVM toolchain.
