## DESCRIPTION

These functions return the symbolic name of a numeric DWARF constant.

Argument *val* specifies the numeric value whose symbolic name is desired.

Argument *str* should point to a location which will hold the returned NUL-terminated string containing the symbolic name of the specified value.

The list of functions and the DWARF constants that they accept are:

- **dwarf\_get\_ACCESS\_name**()

  DW\_ACCESS\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_AT\_name**()

  DW\_AT\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_ATE\_name**()

  DW\_ATE\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_CC\_name**()

  DW\_CC\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_CFA\_name**()

  DW\_CFA\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_CHILDREN\_name**()

  DW\_CHILDREN\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_DS\_name**()

  DW\_DS\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_DSC\_name**()

  DW\_DSC\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_EH\_name**()

  DW\_EH\_PE\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_END\_name**()

  DW\_END\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_FORM\_name**()

  DW\_FORM\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_ID\_name**()

  DW\_ID\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_INL\_name**()

  DW\_INL\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_LANG\_name**()

  DW\_LANG\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_LNE\_name**()

  DW\_LNE\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_LNS\_name**()

  DW\_LNS\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_MACINFO\_name**()

  DW\_MACINFO\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_OP\_name**()

  DW\_OP\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_ORD\_name**()

  DW\_ORD\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_TAG\_name**()

  DW\_TAG\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_UT\_name**()

  DW\_UT\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_VIRTUALITY\_name**()

  DW\_VIRTUALITY\_\* constants.

- **dwarf\_get\_VIS\_name**()

  DW\_VIS\_\* constants.

## RETURN VALUES

These functions return DW\_DLV\_OK on success. If the DWARF constant denoted by argument *val* is not recognized, these function return DW\_DLV\_NO\_ENTRY.
