DWARF_FINISH(3) BSD Library Functions Manual DWARF_FINISH(3)NAME
dwarf_finish, dwarf_object_finish -- free resources associated with a debug descriptor
LIBRARY
DWARF Access Library (libdwarf, -ldwarf)
SYNOPSIS
#include <libdwarf.h>
int
dwarf_finish(Dwarf_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Error *err);
int
dwarf_object_finish(Dwarf_Debug dbg, Dwarf_Error *err);
DESCRIPTION
The dwarf_finish() and dwarf_object_finish() functions are used to release the resources associated with a debug descriptor allocated by a
prior call to dwarf_init(3) and dwarf_object_init(3) respectively.
Argument dbg denotes a valid Dwarf_Debug instance. Argument err will be used to record error information in case of an error.
After a call to dwarf_finish() or dwarf_object_finish(), the argument dbg will be invalid and should not be used further.
For Dwarf_Debug descriptors opened using dwarf_init(3), the application would need to explicitly release the Elf instance associated with the
descriptor by first retrieving the instance using dwarf_get_elf(3) and closing it using elf_end(3).
RETURN VALUES
These functions return DW_DLV_OK if successful. In case of an error, the functions return DW_DLV_ERROR and record additional information in
argument err.
EXAMPLES
To deallocate a Dwarf_Debug instance allocated using dwarf_elf_init(3) use:
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dwarf_Error de;
if (dwarf_finish(dbg, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_finish: %s", dwarf_errmsg(de));
To deallocate a Dwarf_Debug instance allocated using dwarf_object_init(3) use:
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));
To deallocate a Dwarf_Debug instance allocated using dwarf_init(3) use:
Dwarf_Debug dbg;
Dward_Error de;
Elf *e;
if (dwarf_get_elf(dbg, &e, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_get_elf: %s", dwarf_errmsg(&de));
if (dwarf_finish(dbg, &de) != DW_DLV_OK)
errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "dwarf_finish: %s", dwarf_errmsg(de));
(void) elf_end(e);

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()

The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
