.Sh NAME
.Nm dwarfgen
.Nd generate example DWARF data.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl t Ar type
.Op Fl o Ar outpath
.Op Fl c cunum
.Ar pathname
.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
creates DWARF sections as requested by specific options.
.Pp
Using some information source, create a tree of dwarf
information (speaking of a DIE tree).
Turn the die tree into dwarfdata using libdwarf producer
and write the resulting data in an object file.
It is a bit inconsistent in error handling just to
demonstrate the various possibilities using the producer
library.
.Pp
Main options:
.Bl -tag -compact
.It Fl t Ar type
what sort of input to read.  May be one of:
.Bl -tag -compact
.It Ar def
means predefined (no input is read, the output
is based on some canned setups built into dwarfgen).
.Ar path
is ignored in this case. This is the default, and does not work.
.It Ar obj
means
.Ar path
is the object file to
read (The dwarf sections are duplicated in the output file.)
Requires 
.Ar path .
.It Ar txt
.Ar path
contains plain text
(in a form rather like output by dwarfdump)
that defines the dwarf that is to be output.
Requires 
.Ar path .
.El
.
.It Fl o Ar outpath
specifies the pathname of the output object. If not supplied,
.Pa testout.o
is used as the default output path.
.
.It Fl c Ar cunum
supplies a CU number of the
.Ql obj
.Ar type
input to read .
.\" not "output" ??? jkl
because the dwarf producer wants just one CU.
Default is -1 which won't match anything.
.El
.Pp
Other options:
.Bl -tag -compact
.It Fl h
transform high PC to const. 
.It Fl s
output as text.
.It Fl r
show relocation details.
.It Fl v Ar version
DWARF version 2, 3, 4, or 5. 
.It Fl p Ar size
pointer size, 4 or 8.
.It Fl f Ar offset
offset size, 4 or 8.
